Why organic?

I would like to share them with you some important resins why you should consume organic foods. This resins prove how going organic will benefit not only your health, but also our planet. The first one is that organic products are higher in nutrients than traditional products. Studies show that organic produce are higher in vitamin C, antioxidants (I have linked here some interesting information abut antioxidants) and the minerals calcium, iron, chromium, and magnesium. Organic foods are also free of neurotoxins. Toxins can be damaging to brain and nerve cells. Organic produces are also supportive of growing children's brains and bodies. I is better to feed kids organic produces because they don't contain toxins, kids brains and bodies are much more susceptible to toxins than adults.

When you consume organic produce you are consuming real food, not pesticide factories. Eighteen percent of all genetically-modified seeds are engineered to produce their own pesticides. Research shows that these seeds may continue producing pesticides inside your body once you've eaten the food grown from them! Foods that are actually pesticide factories.....No thanks. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that pesticides pollute the primary drinking source for half of American population. Organic Farming is the best solution to the problem. Buying organic
helps reduce pollution in our droning water.  Organic food is earth friendly. When big businesses keep their hands out of it. Organic foods help insure independent family farms can create a livelihood. To me it is like the domestic version of fair trade. Overall  organic food simply rase better than the pesticide-grown one.

Organic food is not exposed to gas-ripening like some non-organic fruits and vegetables. Organic

farms are also safe for farm workers. research at the Harvard School of public health found a 70 percent increase in parkinson's disease among people exposed to pesticides. Choosing organic foods means that more people will be able to work without incurring the higher potential health risk of Parkinson's or other illnesses. Even both commonly used amounts of pesticides, wildlife is being harmed by exposure to pesticides. Organic food supports wildlife habitats. In addition eating organic may reduce your cancer risk. The EPS considers 60% of herbicides, 90% of fungicides, and 30%of insecticides potentially cancer-causing. It is reasonable to think that the rapidly rates of cancer are at least partly linked to the use of these carcinogenic pesticides. Choosing organic meant lessens your exposure to antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and drugs that find their way into the animal and ultimately into you. Genetically-modified food makes up 80% of the average persons food consumption. Organic food is tried and tested. I hope that after reading this you will be some what motivated to start consuming organic products. Now that you know some of the resins why you should code organic food over genetically-modified food.

MSG Mice!

Did you know that no strain of rat or mice is naturally obese? So…scientists have to “create” them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with monosodium glutamate (MSG) when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats to become obese. It also causes them to crave carbohydrates (sugars) rather than proteins, and they eventually end up with metabolic syndrome on top of obesity, which results in a leptin insensitivity. Leptin is the “lookout hormone” which is secreted by fat cells; it is the gatekeeper of fat metabolism, monitoring how much energy an organism takes in, maintaining the energy balance in the body, and regulating hunger. Without leptin sensitivity, a person will eat and eat and eat without feeling satisfied. It has been shown that you can produce leptin insensitivity very easily with MSG.
Unfortunately, MSG is often disguised under other names, thus you may not be able to detect it in a list of ingredients. Some synonyms for MSG are:
• “Glutamate Textured Protein”
• “Glutamic Acid Yeast Extract”
• “Gelatin Yeast Nutrient”
• “Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein”
• “Autolyzed Yeast”
• “Hydrolyzed Soy Protein”
• “Glutamate”
• “Torula Yeast”
• “Protein Isolate”
• “Flavor Enhancer”
They hide MSG under many different names in order to fool those who catch on. Food companies learned that MSG could increase the flavor and aroma and enhance acceptability of commercial food products, so it is doubtful that they will ever quit using this brain killing additive to our food supply. People who consume large amounts of soy products have high incidences of dementia and brain atrophy.

Take a quick trip to your kitchen and check the pantry and the fridge. You will realize that MSG is in everything: soups, the chips, the ramen, the hamburger helper, the gravy, the sauces, the salad dressings, the corn oil, the broth, and so on. All the more reason to eat fresh, unprocessed foods.

Organic Products

I know that eating clean can get really expensive. Organic products are usually pricier than non organic products.I came across this website that called Environment Working Group. Here you can find a list of products that are safe to buy non organic called the clean 15 list. There is also a list called dirty dozen those are products you want to buy at an organic super market.

By no means am i trying to say to no eat fruits or veggies if they are not organic. It would be alto worse to not intake any fruits and veggies at all. Not in-taking any would have a worse effect than in-taking them with pesticides. How ever there are a lot of important benefits to consuming organic products. the most important to me is avoiding pesticides.

Let me tell you a few reasons why you should avoid pesticides. Pesticides are toxic, they are designed to kill insects, plants and fungi. Accordion to research pesticides put peoples heath in danger. They are linked to cancer and hormone disruption. They have also been proven to cause skin, lung and eye irritation. This is why it is important to try to consume more organic foods.

Organic products contain fewer pesticides. Organic Food is usually fresher because it doesn't  contain any of the preservatives that make it last longer. With the consumption of organic products not only are you keeping your body healthy you are also helping the environment. Organic arming practices reduce pollution, conserve water reduce soil erosion, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and small animals as well as the people who harvest our foods.

I mention earlier that consuming organic foods can be a bit more pricey; however, if you think about it in the long run it might end up saving you some money. How? well if you make the commitment to eat organic foods you will eat at restaurants less often. You'll also pack your lunch more often than not and eat cook from scratch.

The eating organic trend is becoming more popular according to the Organic Trade Association, 78 percent of American families purchase organic foods. This percentage is increasing as more consumer are becoming aware of the many health benefits conferred by organic foods. Now days there are platy of markets that sell organic products. For example here is the Portland area we have Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's is my persona favorite everything there is organic and affordable.It is a small super market compared to others, but the quality of their products is great.Trader Joe's also offers a free cell phone app in this application you can find tasting note which are reviews that customers post about their products, You can also find deleted nutritional information and store location. I have this app on my iPhone and i love it it comes in handy i have disturber alto of new products trough peoples taste notes.  There is also other stores like New seasons and whole foods i am not very familiar with this st

Steroids, Anitbiotics, Sprays. Are food manufactures killing us?

   In toady's society it is no longer about quality its all about quantity. Even when it comes to food production. Food manufactures are putting all kinds of antibiotics and pesticides to increases the growth of everything fruits vegetables meats. 70 percent of the calories we intake come from highly processed foods. Much of the food that is supplied today is not safe. I am very interested in this topic because i have noticed that a lot cheeper to eat unhealthy than it is to eat healthy. Industrial food techniques are so successful they're making us overweight and unhealthy. Most people don't know that MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) is in most of the the pressed foods we consume. Manufacturers use it because it is what makes there food taste so good, it makes it taste so good that it becomes addicting and you can't stop eating it. Pretty smart marker isn't it.

 You may be wondering what MSG, is well let me tell you. MSG was introduced over fifty years ago. It is a flavorless crystalline that has no flavor of its own but can enhances the flavor of certain foods that is mixed with. It is also used as a meat tenderizer. MSG has been fund to be linked to many disorders like obesity, high blood pressure, migraines and type II diabetes. MSG is something we most avoid putting in to our bodies if we want to live a long healthy life.

Research Ideas

I am tourn between two very different topics of research. One being how our diet affects our levels of energy and our emotions. More specifically what are the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. The other topic I'm interested in researching is economics. I want to compare Neoclassical economic theory and the Kynesiam economics theory. 

Freakonomics

I love this book it is honestly the best book I have ever read I'm not done with it but I'm close the being done. I am so amazed at the way it is written the Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner did an amazing job . It is one of those books you learn from reading and when i say learn i mean like useful information. For example in chapter one, Freakonomics demonstrates how incentives affect human behavior.  The book explains economics is the study of incentives which are ways to get people to do good rather than bad things. The book states that economists love to manipulate incentives to try to affect human behavior, but sometimes the incentive will have unintended consequences.    

get the guy

I have bee putting off writing a blog about this book because i really don't like it. I i didn't like the fist chapter i liked the second chapter and from there it was all bad again i continued reading in the hopes that it would get better but  didn't. It was a funny book i also feel like it was well written. It was just the content of the book that i didn't agree with maybe im just old fashion and im not in to party's and dating all this guys. I mean im 20 years old and i have only had one boyfriend and his still my boyfriend. No matter what with dating its always the same you will ether marry the person or brake up with them. No matter how many boys you date is is always going to be the same thing.

Would i recommend this book sure if your way of thinking is like Matthews that the more boys you date the better. If this are your believes then yes go for it you will love it,but if you more old fashion like me then don't read it you will be sitting there just thinking this writer is out of his mind.

I have to give the writes some credit tho he does a good job of laying things dun step by step. For people that agree with his theory it will be easy to fallow his steps. Because in addition to the book he provides videos o help you become a more social girl.
