Going Organic
There are several reasons for one to buy organic food. The lack of pesticides in organic foods along with the higher levels of nutrients is a perfect reason for a martial artist to switch to organic foods. The main drawback is that organic food tends to be much more expensive than non-organic food. Below are two lists. The first list is a list of foods that have the highest pesticide levels and therefore should be bought organic.
· Apples
· Peaches
· Sweet bell peppers
· Celery
· Lettuce
· Spinach
· Potatoes
The second list is a list of foods that normally contain very low pesticide levels whether they are bought organic or not.
· Onions
· Sweet corn
· Pineapples
· Avacado
· Cabbage
· Asparagus
· Eggplant
Note* In case anyone is curious. I personally do not eat all organic food. I stick to organic apples, peaches, and peppers all of the time. I'd like to eat all organic, but it is quite expensive.
