Well, first and most of all, the main health benefits of eating organically are that there tend to be more vitamins and minerals available in organic food vs. non-organic food. When you eat organic food, you’re reducing the amount of toxic substances you are exposing to your body. So, the antibiotics, additives, pesticides, and all other “latives” are reduced when you eat organic food. And because of this organic food potentially reduces your risk of cancer, Parkinson’s, allergies, and degenerative mental problems, among others.
On another note, pesticides are being strongly linked with cancer. Parkinson’s disease and lots of mental degenerative diseases are also being linked to pesticide use. Allergies and things like ADHD in children are also being linked to pesticides. In today’s world, with food (especially organic) prices skyrocketing, it’s hard for lots of people to live an organic lifestyle, well; I’m saying you can. The answer is quite simple, plant a garden! A garden may be a lot of work, but the satisfaction of eating a salad you grew, or cutting open a watermelon you had ripened to perfection, even watching the seeds you planted pop out of the ground and blossom is by far worth the work you put into it. I’ve always enjoyed gardening and find it to be a very healthy, and satisfying hobby.
The Mighty Cactus
Ah yes, the cactus, the first thought that enters my mind upon thinking about our spiky friend is the image of Wile E. Coyote somehow flinging himself pell-mell into a giant spiny cactus. A couple fun facts on the biology of the cactus: the bodies of many cacti have become thickened during the course of evolution, and forms water-retentive tissue and in many cases assume the optimal shape of the sphere (combining highest possible volume with lowest possible surface area). By reducing its surface area, the body of the plant is also protected against excessive sunlight. Most cactuses have a short growing season and long dormancy. A fully-grown Saguaro (or taco time) cactus can absorb up to 3,000 liters of water in ten days.
