The Green Goddess

Buyer Beware On Your Next Shopping Spree

You Can Bargain Shop On The Outside But Not On The Inside. Ladies it’s en vogue to go green but have you ever stopped to think what going green truly means? Well, for starters, let’s make going green mean eating as healthy & natural as possible. You can go green while getting gorgeous!

So let’s begin by discussing the big O word.

Yes, I’m talking about Organic.

What exactly is Organic Food? Here is what every stylish girl should know about Organic.

If something is Organic, it is completely and truly Natural (as natural as possible). Organic food is completely natural and hasn’t been treated with un-natural pesticides, un-natural chemicals, it isn’t genetically altered or modified and it isn’t “cloned” food (some food are secretly cloned and put into our markets without public knowledge). To be labeled Organic, a food must have gone through rigorous certification standards.

Incorporate Organic into your diet. Most food at our major supermarkets is NOT natural or close to Organic unless the Label mentions it on the cover or on the ingredient label of the product. Unfortunately, even if a label mentions that something is made with all natural ingredients it isn’t truly natural because when the fruits or foods were actually grown on the farm, the vegetables or fruits were treated with very un-natural pesticides. These are actually poisonous but not TOO poisonous if taken in small amounts, so this is how they can be used for growing food. Those un-natural chemicals slowly but surely not only get into and destroy our farmlands but also our bodies.

Another bad thing about the food that is not organic is that most of the nutritional elements in foods like the vitamins, minerals, nutrients and everything else that is good in food is actually diminished, mutated or killed by un natural things they put on it, in it and around it. So avoid food with artificial ingredients. In 1952 a woman could eat 2 peaches to get the RDA of Vitamin A. Today we would have to eat 52 peaches to get the same amount of Vitamin A, because of the destructive practices of most farmers.

Artificial food and artificial ingredients are destructive and they also pollute our entire planet along with all of us.

What’s a girl supposed to do?

The phrase you get what you pay for rings true here. Many of you may not be used to saving your pennies for organic food. You may also think that organic food is not as readily available, so why bother? I remember when I made the transition it didn’t taste as good as the highly-processed and chemical-laden food I was accustomed to eating but I’ve made a pledge to incorporate more organic food in my diet & have made the transition with fruits and vegetables. It’s better then poisoning yourself. Besides, after a short while your taste buds get used to the natural flavors of food and soon you’ll find yourself cringing at how processed food tastes!

Ladies, I suggest you start buying organic foods, fruits and vegetables at your local store (look for the word organic on the label). Just like you love those trendy boutiques, there are some chic organic markets. It’s time you find out how to get truly natural food into your life. You’ll be doing your part to save the world from these chemicals that will eventually destroy the beautiful shell we were born with from the inside out.

I’m a fan of the work of motivational author Zig Ziglar and he tells a great story that illustrates this point. He asks how you would treat a million-dollar race horse, should you own one. Would you feed it sugar and processed foods? Wake it up with coffee and put it to sleep with beer? Would you give it drugs of any kind unless they were vitally necessary? Would you let it smoke when it felt like it needed to relax? Or would you let it skip exercise and get fat?

No, you most certainly would not. You’d want to protect your investment. So why do any of these things to your own body? Its surely worth more than a billion because it’s the only one you’ve got and no amount of money will buy you a new one.
