What Matters in Food Choices

Choosing the right foods can significantly affect overall health. Here are some key factors to consider:
 Nutritional Value: Organic foods often contain higher levels of certain nutrients, as they are grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
 Chemical Exposure: Organic farming practices limit the use of harmful chemicals, which can reduce exposure to pesticides and fertilizers.
 Environmental Impact: Organic farming tends to be more sustainable, supporting biodiversity and reducing pollution.

Options and What to Buy

 Fruits and Vegetables: For produce that is often heavily treated with pesticides, such as strawberries, spinach, and apples, buy organic.
 Meats and Dairy: Look for organic and grass-fed options to avoid antibiotics and hormones while supporting humane animal treatment.
 Grains and Packaged Foods: Choose organic grains, cereals, and snacks that are free from artificial additives and preservatives.
