Choosing to live perfectly organic for health
Rethink Your Choices
Rethink the choices you make about your daily life. Have you ever wondered why people seem a lot sicker than they did in the past? In the past life was simple. The choices we made in everyday products were easy. There were no genetically altered plants or animals in our food supply or in our clothing. We are simple home cooked food and wore garments made of naturally organically grown fibers.
Technology has change the way we live. The high demand for easy to prepare meals and easy to care for clothing requires productions of these items through unnatural means. Since we expect modern life to be simpler we sacrifice our health for an easy to manage life.
We don't want to prepare meals which require a lot of prep time. We want to eat quickly, which forces us to make unhealthy choices. Packaged foods with ingredients we shouldn't be eating. Clothing made from chemically processed material which touches our bodies and leeches chemical into ourselves. We choose not to think of these things and we wonder why there is such a high incidence of environmentally caused illnesses.
Health is a simple matter of making choices. Choosing products that keep us healthy.
Ask Yourself Questions
When choosing product for yourself and your family ask questions. Simple choices such as which milk to purchase. Ask yourself does it have hormones, antibiotics or other unhealthy ingredients beside just the wholesome milk we want. We have been caught off-guard when it come to shopping for these everyday product. In the past there when we purchased milk it was organic.
Ask yourself is the fabric in this t-shirt just cotton? Do I need to rethink how I purchase clothing? Has the cotton been grown using harmful chemicals, pesticides, or other unhealthy product? These are once again questions we didn't have to answer in the past. The cotton in our clothing was grown organically. Since labeling products has become such a big issue, the only products we can really trust are those labeled certified organic.

Learn to read packaging on food, check for labels on fresh fruits and vegetable. How was my food prepared or processed? Choose garments, household products, beauty supplies based on whether or not it is organic. Choose organic over non-organic.
Organic products may cost a bit more to produce, but isn't health worth the cost? I think it is and choose products good for health every time. I hope you learn to do the same. Cost vs Health it's a choice.
