Benefits of organic food.

Following a varied, balanced diet made up of organic food has multiple benefits that not only positively affect our health, but also help to care for the environment and reduce pollution.

From Astrid Tapería Orgánica we want to share with you a series of benefits or reasons to start eating organic food and start taking care of your health and the planet.

Organic food contains fewer synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilisers. This is very important since numerous experts and studies warn of the dangers of prolonged and repeated exposure to these products, which can have carcinogenic effects or cause problems in the correct development of children.

In addition, these chemical products often leave traces of toxic residues, so their ingestion can also be dangerous to health and cause illnesses such as heart problems, allergies, asthma, osteoporosis, hyperactivity, headaches, etc. Eating organic food protects the health of both the consumer and the farmer.

And, of course, not containing these chemical products also has a positive impact on the environment as it eliminates both soil and water pollution and rescues and promotes biodiversity thanks to organic production methods.

In the case of organic meat and dairy products, if they are organic, they have approximately 50% more omega-3 fatty acids. In other words, healthy, unsaturated fats. This is due to the fact that the animals are raised on pasture and spend a lot of time outdoors. The meat industry feeds them on artificial feed and products.

In addition, conventional farms give livestock antibiotics and other chemicals such as synthetic hormones to protect them from disease and to make them fatten and grow fast, and raise them in unsanitary or overcrowded conditions.
