10 Essential Benefits of an Organic Lifestyle
SHARE

So, you’re thinking about switching to an organic lifestyle. You’re looking to make a change in your life because you want to be happier and healthier, and you’ve heard good things about going organic. But is it really all it’s cracked up to be? Will you actually notice a dramatic change in the way you feel every morning you wake up? And what are the other benefits of going organic? Can you, a single person, really help the environment by making the switch? If you’re asking yourself these kinds of questions, wonder no longer, because we’re here to help! In this article, we’ll discuss 10 benefits of an organic lifestyle, including some that have nothing to do with your personal health. Now then, let’s get started!

  1. It’s Good for the Planet

Without a doubt, one of the biggest benefits to living an organic lifestyle is contributing to the continuing efforts to maintain our planet. There are so many issues that are caused by non-organic lifestyles that greatly affect our planet and its condition. For instance, non-organic foods often come from farms that rely heavily on pesticides and herbicides to stay alive. Those chemicals, through lakes, and even pollution, eventually make their way into the ocean and can harm life that calls the water home. Not only are those chemicals bad for the ocean, but they’re also bad for all of the wildlife that lives near those farms. And anyone, animals included, that eat those foods are ingesting those same pesticides and herbicides. So that’s why it’s wise to avoid food from those kinds of farms completely and stick with organic-only options.

  1. You’ll Help Preserve Ecosystems

We all remember 5th-grade science class, where we learned about ecosystems and the different organisms that make up those ecosystems. As you know, ecosystems are very important and we as humans must take an effort in maintaining them. By living an organic lifestyle, you’ll be helping ensure the safety of those ecosystems that are such a vital part of our planet. Again, the pesticides and herbicides that are used to maintain non-organic farms are very harmful to the environment. If those chemicals affect one or more parts of an ecosystem, it can greatly hinder that ecosystem’s chances of survival. By avoiding food from non-organic farms, you’ll be helping preserve your local ecosystems. You’ll also be fighting against farms that do not take those same measures to preserve local ecosystems, and thus, be encouraging them to do so.

  1. It’s Good for Your Allergies

If you’re someone who struggles with allergies, especially during certain seasons, you may find that switching to an organic lifestyle has tremendous benefits. Seasonal allergies are often the result of an imbalanced immune system. An organic diet will help balance your immune system, and thus, provide some much-needed allergy relief in the process. Best of all? You don’t have to spend money every month on expensive allergy medicines or avoid the outdoors when the weather is at its best. You just change the way you eat, and naturally, you’ve fixed your allergy problem!

  1. You’ll Be Supporting Local Farms

Eating organically requires you to eat mostly food that comes from your local farms. Those farms rely on your support, and others like you, to simply exist. The costs of manual labor, maintaining the crops, and caring for the animals aren’t cheap. If people don’t support these farms by buying their products, they’ll cease to exist, which isn’t good. By living organically, you’ll be supporting your local economy, and more specifically, your local farms. That will allow them to stay in business, keep the doors open, and provide you with the healthy choices you need to live a long and happy life.

  1. It Promotes Humane Treatment of Animals

A huge part of living organically is only eating food from local, organic-friendly farms. That includes not only fruits and vegetables but meat, as well. Animals on these farms live healthy lifestyles and are treated much differently than animals on non-organic farms. They’re fed differently, allowed the space needed to roam freely and live happily. Most local farms even allow you to visit their facilities, so you can get an up-close look at the way they treat their animals. You’ll be able to have a clear conscience knowing that you didn’t contribute to the inhumane treatment of any living creatures.

  1. Your Food Will Contain More Nutrients

If you haven’t been eating organically, odds are you aren’t getting the proper nutrients you need to live a healthy life. You’re most likely missing the vitamins and minerals needed to have the energy needed to live your day-to-day life to the fullest. Making the switch to organic can help you obtain those nutrients, and thus, live a lifestyle that’s worth living. You’ll have more energy to do things like go to the gym, or play with your kids, thanks to this change in diet.

  1. You?ll Avoid Chemicals and Hormones

Like we stated previously, non-organic farms rely heavily on chemicals and other unnatural methods to mass produce as much food as possible. They’re not about healthy lifestyles, but about making a large profit. With local, organic-friendly farms, the exact opposite approach is taken. The animals that live on those farms eat food that doesn’t contain chemicals that are used to keep the food fresh for a longer period of time or detract bugs. That means they’re healthier, and healthier to eat, too. Also, those animals are giving the time needed to grow large naturally. No hormones or other growth substances are used to speed up the process. And when you eat meat that comes from animals who were giving those hormones, you ingest them too, which is obviously bad for your health.

  1. You’ll Be Happier Living Organically

Besides knowing that you’re not contributing to the inhumane treatment of animals, you’ll be much healthier when living an organic lifestyle. Those physical health benefits allow you to have the energy needed to live a more active lifestyle. You’ll notice that you don’t get sick as often, or at all, and you feel vibrant and well almost every day. Also, you’ll get some mental health benefits out of the lifestyle change, too. That overall boost in happiness across the board will make your life that much better, which is enough of a reason to make the change alone.

  1. You’ll Live a Longer Life

It’s no secret that making healthier lifestyle choices can lead to a longer life. Avoiding foods that can lead to illness and early death by making an organic lifestyle your norm can help you extend your life. And when you do get older, you want to have the energy needed to still be alive, living life to the fullest and taking advantage of each day. And an organic lifestyle can help you in that department, too. Odds are you want to live a long life so you can see as much as this world as possible. You undoubtedly want to see the young people in your life grow up, and be able to spend time with your family well into your old age.

  1. It’s Even Good for Your Pets

Sure, all of the people living in your home can benefit from living an organic lifestyle. But it doesn’t stop there. The pets in your life can also benefit from eating organically, too. Obviously all of the benefits of living organically benefit your pets, as well as yourself. Feeding them organic-only food will help to make them a happier and healthier pet and extend their life, which is the goal of every pet owner. It’s never been easier for everyone in your house, including pets, to live an organic lifestyle. There are even products like organic CBD dog treats, which your dog is sure to love, and is a small change that’s easy to make. The Benefits of an Organic Lifestyle Well, there you have it! Those are 10 benefits of an organic lifestyle! As you can see, a simple change in the way you buy and consume food can go a long way and greatly impact your life. The benefits to you personally are noteworthy, but you’ll also be aiding in the fight to save the environment, too. You’ll be supporting your local farms and promoting the proper, humane treatment of animals. You won’t be ingesting any kind of hormones, or other unnatural chemicals that are bad for your health, as well as that of the animals that you’re eating.
