How to Eat Healthy

Step 7 Choose Organic When Possible

Eat as much organic food as your budget will allow. You will be cutting out a lot of pesticides and preservatives from your diet. You will be supporting healthy farming practices and supporting alternative farms. Dont buy just any old organic foods. Look for the real deal. Look for labels that tell you the company believes in the whole philosophy of good stewardship toward Mother Earth and not just trying to make a buck. Dont buy Ragu organic pasta sauce. Dont buy organic Rice Krispies. Dont buy into the myth that organic food isnt any better. Google organic food and find out. Its also a myth that organic foods are expensive. On top of being a good value for your dollar organic food fills you up sooner so you eat less food. Get in the habit of preparing as much of your own food as possible. Homemade bread is cheaper and delicious. Home cooked beans are cheap and can be made in large batches and frozen for later. Make your own hot cereal. Buy in bulk if its available. Only buy bulk foods from a store that sells lots of bulk food. Youll get fresher food.
