A lot of people in my network ask me, is organic food really worth the price tag?
The short answer is: yes.
The long answer is: pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later.
Food is one of the only things humans have daily choice over consuming. Gone are the days where humans have choice over when chem trails are scheduled, when pesticides are sprayed in crops, or when water is ridden with toxins and leftover birth control.
So food in a sense is your last hope to living a healthy life.
Before you stress yourself out on costs, I want you to take a bite size approach. You do not need to replace your cabinet and fridge overnight. Start with these 3 tips that have helped me transform my health.
1. Download the Yuka App
The Yuka App is a powerful and transparent indicator of whether the food or household items you have in your home are helpful or harmful to your health. If it has a barcode, it is scannable on Yuka. Yuka provides ratings out of score 100. Green ratings indicate good for you while yellow and red should be used in moderation, if at all. Yuka also provides on the market replacements that can be super helpful for the person scratching there head. Awareness is one thing, but an alternative solution is chefs kiss.
2. Focus on the Daily Consumption
Really take inventory of what you are consuming on a daily basis. What does breakfast look like? If a protein bar, is it a good source of protein? If eggs, are they pasture raised happy hens? If yogurt, is it a clean source of healthy bacteria without harmful artificial flavors or sweeteners? Looking at the daily consumption items first are like tackling big ticket items that will have major outcomes on your health. The effort will compound in whatever direction you choose. Are you going helpful or harmful?
3. Discover your local farmers markets
This is not a clique. This is a life hack. Find out where your local farmer markets are hosted and buy directly farm to table. Meet the farmer. Understand exactly where your food is being grown and harvested from. Big corporations own majority of the main stream food brands on the shelves of your local grocery stores. What does that mean? It means the big profit maxing giants will do anything to minimize cost of output while slowly stripping the foods of their nutritious value. Convenience comes at a cost.
