Book Spills Scary Truths About Your Food and Reveals Benefits of Eating Organic
Englewood, FL (PRWEB) March 17, 2008 -- If added hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides and reprocessed sewage are all things you'd rather not ingest on a regular basis, then you should consider eating organic, says author Sandra Powers in her new self-help, health book "Organic for Health" (ISBN 9780595473083, iUniverse, Inc., 2008). According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture standards, organic food may not contain added hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, irradiated components, genetically modified organisms or reprocessed sewage, but conventionally grown foods may, Powers says.
"Organic for Health" shares Powers' incredible story of surviving both breast cancer and liver disease. After receiving the grim diagnosis, she had a mastectomy, but could not undergo any further cancer treatment because her liver was so unhealthy. When a year had passed without any liver function improvement, Powers decided to take control of her health by switching to an organic diet. Within six months, she was feeling much better, her liver was completely healed and her overall cholesterol dropped 40 points.
"Organic for Health" educates readers about the health and nutrition benefits of organic food and about the dangers presented by conventionally grown food and intensive farming. The book also includes delicious organic recipes and additional sources for supplementary research. Powers explains why it's healthier to obtain vitamins and minerals from organic food, rather than multivitamins and supplements, which can actually increase the risk of death if they contain too much Vitamin A or E.
"Organic for Health" goes one step further than explaining the benefits of an organic lifestyle and actually provides tips for financially transitioning to an organic diet. Powers suggests first buying organic replacements for the foods eaten most often, such as milk, eggs and chicken, and then slowly adding other organic foods to the grocery list. Milk, eggs and chicken not only have some of the highest concentrations of added hormones, antibiotics and additives, but they also have the most competitive organic prices, because store brands carry them. Powers is a strong testament to the benefits of an organic lifestyle and through "Organic for Health" readers can now use her methods to improve their own wellbeing.
