HOW IMPORTANT IS ORGANIC?
In this world full of chemicals and pollutants, no-one can say 'I always
avoid chemicals'. It just isn't possible always to be 100% organic. Even plastic containers leak a few molecules
into the food contents. Store them for weeks or months - and it's more than a few molecules.
You could go and live on a desert island with no manufactured food at all! But even then you'd get the airborne
pollution from the outside world.
In the circumstances, all you can do is 'the best you can'. Eat organic fresh fruit and vegetables - as much as you
can. Avoid chemical additives - as much as you can. Get in some exercise and some relaxation every day - as often
as you can.
WHAT KILLS YOU? What kills most people off (remember, most people die of
cancer and heart disease) is NOT what you inherit; it's what your habits are 90% of the time! Your genes are
involved, of course; but for most people, bad habits are what lead to cancer and heart disease. And
'organic' is one good habit to get into.
A day or two without exercise won't kill you. The week with no fresh
fruit won't drag you under. The month when you are under extra stress won't do it either.
There are exceptions to the general health rules, of course - the occasional centenarian who has smoked for 50
years, and has never looked a vegetable in the face, for example. But you cannot rely on being one of these!
Having poor health habits 90% of the time probably WILL kill you! It may take a long time - but it is very, very
likely to catch up with you sooner or later. So - do get into the organic habit if you can.
It WILL help.
