Why Organic Food is Better Than Fast Food
Are you fond of eating out in restaurants? Have you noticed how fast you have gained weight and did you look and feel terrible after consuming massive amounts of trans fat and pounds of sugar from fast food junkies?
The problem with fast food servings is that they are too large that you can’t be sure how many calories are involved; not to mention that when you eat out, you don’t know how the meal is prepared or with what ingredients. Eating commercial food, whether from a fast food or slower food restaurant, simply tempts you to spend more money on extra calories you don’t need. Organic food, on the other hand, aside from the fact that it doesn’t compel you to spend, it promotes natural health and helps prevent some of the most common ailments as well. For instance, herbs and spices such as peppermint and rosemary can be used as natural sleep aid.
Flax seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and nuts are great for constipation relief. You can grind them into a powder and eat or add it to a nondairy smoothie, juice, or your morning cereal. You can also sprinkle it on your evening salad. The mixture of ground up seeds will provide you with extra fiber and a batch of minerals. Flax seeds are astringent and have laxative action that are good for mild or moderate symptoms of constipation.
Soy has recieved a lot of interest in relation to menopause, and one of it’s benefits is in helping alleviate hot flashes. The best source of soy is in organic food, and these days many cereal based products like bread and breakfast cereals come with soy in them; thus making it a convenient home menopause remedy. Food sources of soy protein include tofu, soy milk, tempeh, and soybeans.
While eating fatty and spicy foods in restaurants can cause several problems in your health and can trigger certain ailments such as insomnia, constipation and hot flashes, organic food promises only natural relief and good health. So next time when you are thinking of eating or ordering out, try instead of pilfering your pantry for organic ingredients to put together a healthier home-cooked meal.
