As in generations past, many diets promote skipping basic nutritional requirements while opting for fasting or binge eating that may harm the body. These are the rapid weight loss plans that are read daily in advertisements. The best way to develop a long term diet plan is to make changes in eating habits that are acceptable in meeting daily nutritional requirements. The organic diet plan does not sacrifice items suggested in the six food groups. The current generation is suggesting that people adapt to eating high amounts of organic foods to maintain physical health. This avoids the harmful effects of eating processed foods which are those that are prepackaged and boxed, and contain harmful ingredients to prolong shelf life.

What Does Organic Mean?

Organic food continues to be difficult to find in local Shopping Marts, and a short time ago they were only found in health food stores. As the demand increases, supplies of organic foods have increased which has in turn created psychological confusion for shoppers. This uncertainty is evident as we watch people shop in the fruit and vegetable aisle. On one side of the store, there is a modern day apple. On the other side, there is one labeled organic. Both apples are red, polished, and hard. Both contain fiber and vitamins, both are free of cholesterol, fat, and sodium. How does one determine which one to buy? Most tend to go for the present day grown foods because they cost less. However, the question remains: Is organic food safer or more nutritious?

The term organic when it refers to food production is the method that farmers follow to grow their products, and how they manufacture their products, such as meat, vegetables, fruit, grains, and dairy products. Organic fruits, vegetables’ and grains are grown in nutrient rich soil, and must be kept separate from the conventional products. Farmers do not use pesticides, petroleum-based fertilizers, sewage fertilizers, and involve minimal amounts of bioengineered genes (GMOs).

Organic farming techniques encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. They use nature’s fertilizers, such as compost or manure, to feed soil and plants. These farmers rotate crops, till the soil, hand weed and apply mulch to control weeds. To reduce pests and disease they use insects, birds, mating or traps. To farm in an organic fashion follows the belief that there is no need for chemicals to control pests, they do not inject their animals with any growth hormones, and do not use man made manufactured fertilizers.
