According to Dr. Josh Axe's website, choosing organic foods over conventionally grown foods can reduce your cancer risk by 25%! Understanding what organic means will help you in your shopping choice endeavors. USDA-certified organic foods are managed according to federal guidelines that consider soil quality, animal raising practices, pest and weed control, and the use of additives. Organic meat will not feed their animals antibiotics or hormones. Therefore, choosing or...ganic foods is vital for you and your family's health. A vital tip to consider is, just because the label says "natural" and "all natural," doesn't mean it is safe to eat. Look for the USDA label when shopping. Yes, the products may be a bit pricier, but they will benefit you greatly in the long run. To summarize, eating clean will supply you with better health long-term, and your kids get the chance to thrive when their bodies are most at risk. #healthyeating #plantbased #holistic #holistichealth #health #antiinflammatory #diet #goodeats #science #dietitians #nutrition #foodie #protein #trends #Women #guthealth #food #instagood #instapic #instadaily #Followme #like4like #f4f #hungry #blogger #organic #natural
