As you learn to become aware that food quality and health are very important, you will become aware of the benefits of organic food and the healing lifestyle that it brings. It can be very enjoyable learning to eat whole natural and organic foods. Part of the process is learning to read labels. You really have to pay attention to this because the U.S. News and World Report 6/18/90 issue points out that the FDA found 47% of domestic and 76% of foreign foods did not live up to the nutrient billing on the product label.. It should be pointed out as well that because you are shopping in a health food store you should still read labels. Not everything in the health food store is necessarily healthy.
When it comes to food labels the word “natural” can mean almost anything. The safest words to look for in food labeling are “certified organic” By supporting organic farming you are improving your health the health of the planet and the economy, an all around wise choice. A poll conducted by Harris showed that 80% of Americans want organic fruits and vegetables and over 50% are willing to pay the difference to buy organic. Not only are organic foods safer because they are free of pesticides, it has also been suggested that the use of organically prepared soils usually contains a higher concentration of nutrients, like, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. The Firman Bear Report done at Rutgers University found that organically grown foods were much richer in minerals than the similar looking commercial produce. Organic tomatoes had better than five times more calcium, 12 times more magnesium, three times more potassium, 600% more organic sodium (unlike table salt, organic sodium does not necessarily have adverse effects on blood pressure) sixty eight times more manganese, and 1900 times more iron. Organic spinach had more than twice the calcium, five and a half times the magnesium, better than three times the potassium, seventy times the sodium, one hundred and seventeen times the amount of manganese, and eighty times the iron. Organic lettuce had three and a half times the calcium, three times the magnesium, three times the potassium, thirty times the sodium, one hundred and sixty nine times the manganese, and fifty seven times the iron. The overall result of the Rutgers research suggests that organic foods are 87% richer in minerals and trace elements than commercially grown food. As you can see, with organically grown produce, you get more nutrients for the dollar.
I have been eating a vegetarian raw foods diet for many years. I found that I was getting acid reflux from eating certain raw foods. Some of the foods that I had trouble with were raw peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, raw cucumbers and radishes. I also had a bloated feeling when I ate grains and cereals. After I starting drinking Kangen water, I noticed that my tolerance for these foods had changed. I am now able to enjoy the benefits of my favorite raw and organic fruits and vegetables without fear of bloating, heartburn or acid reflux. If you are serious about making changes to your lifestyle and your health, Kangen water will eventually be an integral part of that change. I have found that by changing my water I have changed my life in many ways. One way being my ability to enjoy foods that are essential to health and beneficial to longevity. So read labels, eat raw organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible and drink plenty of Kangen water. I will see you in the organic foods aisle. With a Safe Canteen full of Kangen water.
Peace and Health,
