Organic Diet
Organic Chemical-Free Diets
An organic diet includes organic fruits and
vegetables, free range meat or poultry, as well as organic dairy products,
unrefined organic oils and stone-ground wheat. Organic diets are a way
of mitigating the increased use of pesticides, herbicides, growth-hormones
and other chemicals in the food chain. In addition, Mad Cow Disease and
other food-related diseases as well as food sensitivities are increasingly
common and might be considerably reduced by the consumption of an organic
diet.
Organic Diets Not Necessarily Balanced Diets
That said, an organic diet is not by definition
a healthy diet unless it is balanced. Therefore food pyramid guidelines
and normal dietary and nutritional guidelines still apply.
Organic Diet More Nutrient Dense
Despite this reservation, most dietitians
agree that organic food is more nutrient-dense and less toxic than regular
food. So from a health viewpoint, balanced organic diets are better than
non-organic eating plans.
Advice on Diets
Special diets or diet plans with special
diet foods are sometimes needed for particular health conditions. Ask
your doctor, dietitian or nutritionist about your personal dietary needs.
Otherwise, a balanced diet program containing foods from all the nutritional
food groups is best.
