When it comes to trying to stay healthy, there are lots of different things you can do, but one of the most effective ways to make sure your body remains as healthy as you want it to be is by feeding it food that will be good for it – and while you may have known this, you may not have known that eating "food that is good for your body" entails more than just eating foods that are considered healthy. Lots of the foods that are raised or grown in a "conventional" manner nowadays are a lot less healthy than they seem to be, as they are created in a way that produces greater size or quantity of the product, but that also compromises the health of the product as a result – and for this reason, choosing organic food is often the best way to go.

Fruits and vegetables is one of the big areas where people fool themselves into thinking they are eating healthy, but because of the growth hormones and pesticides used on "conventional" fruits and veggies these days, you are getting a lot less out of these additions to your diet than you might think.

You may have heard or read about the growth hormones and steroids that are used in the raising of meat these days, but you may not have realized just how bad these are for the humans who consume them – and in fact, for all you hear about the "negative health effects" of red meat, you would actually be healthier to eat organic red meat than to eat chicken that was raised in an inorganic manner!

And of course, when it comes to dairy, the case is the same as with meat; when hormones and steroids are used on cows, these go into their milk as well – which is why organic dairy products are so much better for the health of your body.

Making the switch to organic fruits, meats, and dairy products can cost you a little bit of money – but in the long run, the cost of organic food is nothing compared to the benefits these foods bring your way!
