Health Benefits of Choosing Organic Products
Choosing organic products has many benefits for both nature and humans. Read below to learn why organic products are good for your health and for our environment.
1. Harmful Chemicals from Pesticides
Organic products are produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides. By avoiding chemicals and pesticides, the risk of human exposure to potentially harmful substances through food is reduced.
2. Higher Nutritional Value
Since products are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms, they have a higher nutritional content than conventionally produced products. Organic products are often more nutritious because they undergo less processing. By avoiding chemical additives and preservatives, nutrients are preserved to a greater extent, giving the products a higher nutritional value.
3. Environmentally Friendly Farming Methods
Organic farming methods are better for the environment, reduce pollution, and preserve biodiversity. By not using chemical pesticides and fertilizers, the environmental impact of organic production is reduced. Strict rules and standards for organic production promote sustainability and reduced use of water and energy. Choosing organic products supports a more environmentally friendly and sustainable production.
4. Fewer Ingredients
Organic products contain fewer additives than conventionally produced food. Many foods can contain harmful substances such as pesticides, pollutants, and additives, which can be harmful to human health if consumed in large quantities over a long period. By choosing organic products, the risk of ingesting harmful substances is reduced. The EU has set limits for some harmful substances in food to protect consumers. Organic products often have a shorter ingredient list, which is a sign of natural content.
5. More Sustainable
Finally, organic products are often more sustainable and ethical, supporting local farmers and fair trade. Organic production reduces the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which in turn reduces negative environmental effects such as overfertilization. Choosing organic products is considered more climate-smart and contributes to a more sustainable food consumption. In addition to the environmental aspect, an organic choice also supports farmers working to preserve landscapes and biodiversity.
All our products are organic, vegan, completely additive-free, and without added sugar, something we believe is important for both our bodies and nature.
