Benefits of eating organically grown vegetarian food

Have you ever been in a situation when you had to decide whether you should buy conventional food or organic food that costs a little extra? You might have even thought about whether organic food is worth the extra cost. Organic food does not always cost more, but they have better health benefits since they are free from chemicals. The next time you reach such a situation, it will not be difficult for you to choose after reading this article. Let us take a look at the benefits of organic food.

Top 10 benefits of eating organic food:

1. High antioxidant content

2. Good Heart health

3. Better quality

4. Environmental friendly

5. No artificial pesticides and herbicides content

6. Helps strengthen the immune system

7. Not genetically modified

8. Freshly produced

9. Low chances of foodborne diseases

10. No antibiotics and growth hormones

As you know, buying and eating conventional food from the market can cause serious health issues in the long run. Most of the traditionally grown food items have pesticide residue that is more than MRL (Maximum residue limit). Organically grown food items have fewer or no pesticides present in them. They help reduce health risks and are rich in nutrients like Vitamin C, Phosphorus, and iron. Organic food is also free from antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Indian MRL for pesticide Monocrotophos in rice is 0.025 mg per kg. The Indian diet for rice is 209 grams per day. Thus, exposure to this pesticide through rice is 0.005 mg per day. Out of the 27 pesticides to be banned, three of them are Monocrotophos, Methomyl, and Carbofuran that are associated with high levels of toxicity that leads to the death of farmers.

We grow about 50 varieties of organic vegetables, grains, herbs, and groundnuts for oil at our farm to sustain life and reduce food emissions. We also have many fruit-bearing trees in our community.

Our vegetation receives the spring water for growth so it is highly rich in minerals.

We encourage vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarians who only eat fish to our off-grid community since we have a lake with an ample amount of fish. The lake is 700 meters away, and the river is merely 650-700 meters away so, they permit the dense vegetation to grow due to the regenerative aspects of the lake and water.
