Recently, there has been a craze for organic food down to everyday vitamins, spices and herbs. How does this benefit our bodies and the way we live?
Organic Vitamins
Studies have shown taking synthetic vitamins or products enriched with vitamins can be detrimental to the body and actually have the opposite effect of organic vitamins.
However, it is easy to tell if a vitamin is synthetic. Look at the label; if it tells you exactly how much of each vitamin is contained within the product in milligrams, then most likely it contains synthetic vitamins. There are many essential vitamins to make the human body function normally and optimally. A few of these are Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Folic Acid.
Vitamin A is required to maintain good vision and a strong immune system. Vitamin C helps the body heal wounds and strengths cell reproduction. Without Vitamin E, our bodies would not be able to maintain superb cardiovascular health or generate sufficient blood clotting. Folic Acid is essential in pregnancy and for the general well-being of red blood cells. Taking synthetic vitamins instead of organic vitamins may mean none of these vital elements are being obtained
Organic Spices
Even spices have joined the current organic craze in the United States. This is because most Americans have become more health conscience. Almost all inorganic spices in the U.S. contain harsh chemicals used in the production process, such as fertilizers and pesticides. Organic spices do not even have a trace amount of these damaging compounds and also have no trace of irradiation, which is a technique used to destroy harmful bacteria.
Organic spices are sterilized with a steam heat method or by freezing. Organic spices also taste better. The methods and fresh processes organic spices go through helps contribute to this taste. Also, organic spices contain no fillers, such as sugar. Frontier is a company offering about 300 different organic spices. With this variety, it is now wonder they are the leading company in the field.
Organic Herbs
Like organic spices, fresh organic herbs are cleaner and crisper when used in cooking and baking. Organic herbs are not only better for taste; a lot of fresh organic herbs contain medicinal qualities as well. Medicinal organic herbs include aloe vera, ginseng, ginger, bilberry, Ginkgo biloba and licorice.
Aloe vera's medicinal qualities have been known and used for a long time, helping to heal burns and infections. When people feel they need a general body boost, they try ginseng. If they are having problems with digestion or nausea, fresh ginger helps combat these problems. Bilberry helps the body with visual disorders and helps to regulate the urinary tract and kidneys. Widely known in the past decade, Ginkgo biloba boosts memory. Licorice treats ulcers and can act as an antiviral.
Organic items are becoming easier to come by. Organic vitamins, organic spices and fresh organic herbs will compliment a balanced diet and regular and active lifestyle.
