Lately I’ve been into all things organic. My hair was falling out and looking more like chewed up and regurgitated hay than real hair. I changed to an organic shampoo and not only does it smell nice, it looks shiny too. My skin was getting allergic reactions to all sorts of creams and I changed to an organic and natural face products and I *think* it works. I try to buy fresh foods (the organic produce are WAY too pricey). Heck, I even bought organic WINE!
I was always skeptical of such claims of the benefit of going organic. I always thought, dude, we eat chemicals, bathe in chemicals, walk around in and breathe in chemicals all day long. And we’re fine.
But I see my grandparents and parents having illness and things like high blood pressure and diabetes and cholesterol - which, apparently *everybody* has. And I myself had a bit of health scare and the doctor said I’m not healthy enough. WHAT?! That came as a shock because health is something a lot of us take for granted. Well, I definitely did.
I decided that I am at high risk of developing all these things too. So I want to be healthy. I am making a conscious choice to live better and to eat better. And I’m not saying that organic is necessarily better, but it does make me feel better that I am eating and using more natural ingredients.
Although, sometimes I do think the whole organic ordeal is really a conspiracy. I mean, it seems that there are less regulations on organic produce than normal (cheaper) produce. But then again, all the produce I buy is probably from China. I’m screwed either way.
But I think, organic or not, the best way is to cook at home! I’ve been scouting around for really simple, delicious and nutritious recipes. Maybe next time I can share some of that with you guys.
I don’t want to work so hard only to have something keep me from enjoying my life when I’m 50!!
