Organic - Could You Eat It All The Time?

Organic foods seem to be everywhere these days -- from the corner store to the grocery store, there are pesticide-free, unprocessed, free-range foods on every shelf. But could you live on nothing but organic foods? Think about it -- you'd only have a handful or restaurants to choose from, and you might have to give up on some of your favourite dishes altogether. Could you do it?

One doctor in California did, and he recently spoke to the New York Times about his experiences on the all-organic diet. "This isn't a way of eating I could recommend to anybody else because it's so far off the beaten food grid," said Dr. Alan Greene. "It was much more challenging than I thought it would be, and I thought it would be tough. There were definitely days where there was nothing I could find that was organic." Still, he thinks it has improved his health. Read the full story here.

Yes Great Article,

I agree it is hard to get everything organic especially if you are going out to eat. I believe that is soon to change though, because more and more people will awaken and start demanding it. And as more people demand it then more people will supply it, because now there is a successful market for it.

The less you eat out at restaurants the easier it will be to eat completely organic foods. There are many grocery stores that consist entirely of only organic foods. The problem I seem more than finding it is the price of it. Most organic foods are at least twice the cost of non-organic foods.

There is no doubt that these organic foods are way healthier for you. Everything you eat has to get processed by your body, and many toxins end up getting stored inside your intensions and other organs of your body. So I believe the fewer toxins you take in, like pesticides for example, the less you have to worry about it.

Also there is a practice out there that says partaking in a juice fast for a few days can help rid your body of toxins and actually helps to heal your body too. So if you find it hard to buy all organic foods you might want to hold off for the organic fruits and veggies and then use them with a juice fast.
