During the last decades there has been a change towards mechanization and homogenization of farming, which uses pesticides, additives, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production techniques. All this is clearly affecting mankind's health and new diseases are spreading rapidly amongst humans and animals.
The World Health Organization (WHO) produces reports to show how the use of chemicals and other products on food, coupled with the manufacturing processes involved, are actually a threat for our health.
If you have space for a few pots or even a small piece of land, it is a wise decision to grow your own organic vegetable garden. Today I'm presenting you with seven reasons for doing this:
1. You will have no additives in your vegetables. Research by organic food associations has shown that additives in our food can cause heart diseases, osteoporosis, migraines, hyperactivity, certain cancers as well as other diseases.
2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products are applied to obtain crops year round regardless of weather conditions. This affects the quality of the vegetables and, more importantly, pesticides are usually poisonous to humans.
3. Your vegetables will not be genetically modified (GM). Antibiotics, drugs and hormones are used to grow more and larger vegetables. One of the consequences of this practice is vegetables which look the same and are usually tasteless. We also end up consuming the hormones that have been used on the vegetables which has potential risks for our health.
4. Eating your own organic vegetables will be healthier for you. They will not contain any of the products or chemicals named above, and they will be more natural than the vegetables you would find at the supermarket. You can feel confident you are not putting your health at risk because you will know that nothing dangerous has been added to the food you grew.
5. Your own organic vegetables will be tastier. The use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make vegetables grow unnaturally and take the taste away from them. With organic vegetables, your cooking will be enhanced as their flavor will show fully.
6. Organic farming is friendly to the environment. Because you won't be using pesticides or other equally harmful products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or the air with chemicals & fertilizers.
7. When you grow your own organic vegetables you are contributing to your own self-sustainability and the sustainability of the planet. Small communities have been founded where members exchange products that they grow naturally, thus contributing to create a friendly and better place for us all.
In the end, eating organic products is the healthiest option. It means that we do not add anything to our vegetables so they can grow naturally. As you now know, additives, fertilizers, pesticides or hormones are not components of naturally grown food and contribute to health issues. To better care for your health, grow your own organic vegetables - and a few pots is all you need to start.
