"Organic for Health" by Sandy Powers is
an eye-opening look at what 'healthy' is and is not.
What are you having for dinner? Eating in
or take out? Think you are
eating healthy? "Organic for Health" (ISBN-10:
0595473083) by Sandy Powers is an
eye-opening look at what 'healthy' is and is not.
A breast cancer survivor, Sandy Powers turned to organic
foods to heal her liver and fight breast cancer recurrence.
Organic for Health explains in detail about the toxic
pesticides and fertilizers that are used in growing
conventionally foods and the detrimental role they are
playing in our family's health. Studies have shown
malignancies in children are linked to the pesticide
residues in our food. Over forty antioxidant-packed recipes
are included in Organic for health to help fight diseases
and boost the immune system.
In a recent interview the author was asked about the quality
of conventionally grown produce, "The quality of
conventionally grown produce has consistently deteriorated
through the years because of intensive farming practices.
Intensive farming is concerned with productivity. To achieve
high productivity, powerful pesticides, powerful
fertilizers, and growth-regulators are used. While intensive
farming does provide large quantities of relatively cheap
food, it is at the cost of vitamins and minerals in the
food. For example, the conventionally grown orange you are
eating today has less vitamin C than the conventionally
grown orange of fifty years ago..."
"Organic for Health" is a great book because the passion of
the author and her experiences are in every page. "Organic
for Health" also is not written like a generic reference
book but a truly interesting take on the problems in our
food industry with alternative answers...The foremost
concern most people have with conventional food is the
pesticide residues that remain on the food. Study after
study has shown pesticides are linked to Parkinson's
disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and cancers of
the brain, not to mention a host of other problems that are
not so deadly, like asthma. Since you can’t wash or cook off
pesticide absorption, the only way to prevent ingestion is
to avoid it completely. This is role of organic food. While
organic food has more antioxidants and immune boosters to
better fight disease than conventional food, organic food is
also more expensive. Organic food costs more because it is
more costly to produce. There is a lesser yield in crops
with safer pesticides and fertilizers."
Also included in "Organic for Health" is a variety of
organic recipes -- Powers has been able to find most of the
ingredients in their organic forms. The recipes are very
simple, usually with only a few ingredients.
"Organic for Health" should be the next book you buy --
Whether you are hungry are not!
