Food Matters
With the “is organic really better for you” question always being asked, it is important for us to know the facts presented from different channels as well as using experience and logic to be our own judges. Countless research sources show that not only does organic food contain more nutrition, but, just as importantly, organics allow you to avoiding the pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and other harmful chemicals overloading your body. Further, by eating organically you are contributing to the better wellbeing of the earth, looking out for animal welfare, and protecting future generations by supporting earth friendly farming methods that reduce toxins in our air and water. For a really compelling presentation of this logic that organic whole foods are kinder for us all, I recommend the documentary “Food Matters”. It focuses on this essential aspect of wellbeing: that we truly are what we eat.
Food Matters consults leading experts in nutrition and holistic healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with poor nutrition, but with the right kinds of foods we can cure and prevent degenerative, chronic and life threatening illnesses including cancer.
The focus of the film is on helping us rethink the belief systems instilled in our society. The interviewees point out that not every problem requires costly, major medical attention and reveal many alternative therapies and foods that can be more effective, more economical, less harmful and less invasive than conventional medical treatments. The fuel we put into our bodies on a daily basis is the dominant factor in the quality of life that we experience. By choosing organic, unrefined foods and making healthy lifestyle choices, you're more than likely going to feel fantastic and be energised to pursue the life that you really desire!

"The birthright of all living things is health. This law is true for soil, plant, animal and man: the health of these four is one connected chain. Any weakness or defect in the health of any earlier link is passed on to the next and succeeding links, until it reaches the last, namely, man."
(Sir Albert Howard, 1945)
