Benefits of Eating Organic

- Organic fruits and vegetables have a richer mineral content than their nonorganic counterparts. This means you're feeding your body more calcium, magnesium, and other vital nutrients.

- When you eat organic produce, you can be confident you're ingesting the food itself, not added pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemicals.

- Organic meat is free of added, artificial hormones that could be harmful to your health.

- Organic food is higher in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which benefit your heart and lower bad cholesterol levels.

- Food grown organically may be better for the economic success of small farms, as well as the health of animals and the environment.
