Organic waste is the second highest waste disposal site in the US and is the largest source of methane emissions. It is estimated that 30 percent of food is wasted, equivalent to 20 pounds [20 kg] of food per person per month.
Ultimately, eating organic products means that we are not adding anything to it than it would naturally. As you can guess, supplements, fertilizers, pesticides or hormones are not part of a healthy diet. To take better care of your health, grow live vegetables - and a few pots are all you need.
No fruits and vegetables are harvested in our wasted area. We make every effort to eat or store all the food harvested in the garden. Any leftovers or cuts we do not eat are given to our chickens or put in a compost bin to return to the garden and nutrients. It also gives a good harvest if we can use it. When planting your vegetables, clearly understand the importance.
In recent decades there have been changes in the use of machinery and agricultural integration, with the use of pesticides, additives, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and mass production methods. All of these clearly affect human health, and new diseases spread rapidly between humans and animals (bird flu is the latest).
The World Health Organization produces reports that the use of certain chemicals in certain foods, as well as the production processes involved, is harmful to our health.
If you have space for a few pots or a piece of land, it is a wise decision to grow your living vegetable garden. Today I present to you seven reasons for doing this:
1. You will not have supplements for your vegetables. Research into healthy eating has shown that supplements in our diet can cause heart disease, osteoporosis, headaches and dysfunction.
2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products are used to obtain plants at all times regardless of disease or weather, and affect the quality of the vegetables. Besides, pesticides are often harmful to humans.
3. Your vegetables will not be genetically modified (GM). Antibiotics, drugs and hormones are used in vegetables to make them grow bigger. One of the consequences of this practice is vegetables that look similar and often do not taste good. In addition, we end up consuming vegetable hormones, as well as potential health risks.
4. Eating healthy vegetables will make you healthier. They will not contain any of the products or chemicals mentioned above, and they will be more natural than anything you can find in a store. Your health will not be at risk because you will then know that nothing has been added to your vegetables.
5. Your healthy vegetables will be more delicious. The use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics causes vegetables to grow abnormally and loses its flavor. With live vegetables, your cooking will be enhanced as its taste will be fully reflected.
6. Organic farming is environmentally friendly. Because you will not use pesticides or other equally harmful products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or air with chemical substances.
7. When you grow organic vegetables you contribute to the stability and stability of the soil. Smaller communities were formed when members traded in products that grew naturally, thus contributing to the creation of a friendly and better environment for all of us.
Ultimately, eating organic products means that we are not adding anything to it than it would naturally. As you can guess, supplements, fertilizers, pesticides or hormones are not part of a healthy diet. To take better care of your health, grow live vegetables - and a few pots are all you need.
