Organic Food: Is it worth the extra money?

Because proper nutrition is an integral component of health and wellness, organic groceries are often a hot topic for discussion. And people often ask, "Is organic food worth the extra money?" A well known nutritionist says, "Yes and no."

My own personal opinion on this topic is that no doubt, everyone needs to consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. After all, they've proven to lower blood pressure; reduce an individuals risk of heart disease, stroke, and some cancers; lower the risk of digestive problems; and have a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep the appetite in check. But I believe the decision to buy organic should be left up to the individual and applied to a broader range of living. And regardless of your choice, keep the fruit and vegetable servings coming!

Best Regards,

Jake
