When to Buy Organic Food and When to Pass

when to buy Organic food vs non organic food, Natural vegetable healthy life superfood, healthy food, eat clean

Your quick guide to buying organic vs. non-organic food

While eating 100% organic is the safest option, if you’re living on a budget, it’s good to have and know your options for healthier eating habits. I’m all for clean food but I also like to get plenty of bang for my buck—so I find myself prioritizing on what foods are better purchased organic and which ones can get the pass.

Organic foods are produced through farming practices that only use natural substances, avoiding all artificial chemicals, hormones, antibiotics or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Although many studies comparing organic and non-organic food have mixed conclusions, there is undeniable evidence that organic food is more nutritious.

The British Journal of Nutrition revealed that organic crops on average, had higher concentrations of antioxidants, lower concentrations of toxic metal cadmium (Cd) and a lower incidence of pesticide residues.

So, what do you buy and what do you leave?

Food to Buy Organic

Fresh produce

The Electronic Working Group (EWG) publishes a list of foods with the highest levels of pesticide residue every year. At the top of the list, strawberries, spinach, apples and kale among others.

And if you’re wondering what the deal is with pesticides, multiple studies have linked pesticide exposure to Cancer, Parkinson’s disease and Autism, plus a possible loss in IQ.

Foods made from produce that’s highly exposed to pesticides

Wine and coffee are made from produce containing some of the highest amounts of pesticide residue and are better off purchased organic.

More Food to Buy Organic

Diary; Milk, butter, yogurt and cheese

Meat; Chicken, beef and ham

Breakfast staples; Eggs, bread and oatmeal

And of course, chocolate.

To put it simply, buy organic when it comes to fresh produce and food that you consume the most.

As for the foods that you can pass on, here’s a few to put on your list.

Bananas, rice, tea, sweet potatoes and grapefruit, olive oil and other cooking oils.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love him to the moon Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love him to the moon and back. The older I grow, the more I appreciate how his presence and love are a defining source of my confidence, self esteem and self love—A stellar man indeed. My dad LOVES architecture, and luxury interior design. As a child we used to watch MTV Cribs together. So while visiting Miami, we woke up super early to be among the first to tour Villa Vizcaya. I left with nearly a hundred pics in my phone to send him for house inspo. I love the memories we’ve created over the years. Because of his class, success and outlook on life, I know that nothing is out of reach for me. May you continue to inspire me to only want the best for myself 🤍. #HappyFathersDay
