Lessen toxic poison in your body

I had done lip service to organic food 10 years ago. How could I ask the money conscious Indian eaters to spend more on organic food, let me share with you what I discovered the premium cost of organic produce is a price worth paying.

A chance meeting with the obesity psychiatrist with the John Hopkins Medical Centre really shook me up. She pointed to the humongous sizes of Americans, the alarming rise of psychological disorders, early puberty, all kinds of cancers, hyperactivity, and attention disorder in children was due to chemicals, colours, pesticides and additives in the food.

The growth hormones pumped into food to increase its shelf life and even make it look larger; had a profound effect on the population’s waist size and health. Unfortunately, we are now having similar problems. Childhood obesity is on the rise, we are the world’s diabetes capital, menstrual irregularities like Polycystic Ovarian Disorder and Endometriosis are alarmingly increasing and every second person seems to have a high blood pressure, cholesterol, cancer is quite common and psychological problems are increasing.

Perhaps the greatest horror of all is that our children are constantly exposed to these dangers. They are unfortunately born into a toxin-laden environment. Their small bodies are less able to eliminate these poisons. Non-organic crops also have a higher trace of toxic metals and pesticides many of these compounds have been linked to risk cancers.

Childhood is a "critical period" in human development when exposure to a toxin can permanently alter the way an individual's biological system operates. I finally understood the western world’s new mantra “Organic Food”; the reason, it is safe, free of disease promoting chemicals.

Go organic. It is easy to buy grains pulses spices at supermarkets and online look for certified organic food. The organic food reflects your attitude towards life and to the world because pure food sustains life – bad food kills. For healthy growth, we need pure food.

We fed our children with love; now feed them with confidence that their food is safe and their future is bright. Why to poison your children and family; when you can buy organic food now!
