Primal Primer 21 (Nutrition)
Eating organic fruits & vegetables was an everyday environmental factor contributing to human evolution and longevity by fueling with the cleanest sources of essential nutrients and calories for brain development, growth, recovery, and overall systemic health.
Why Organic?
Higher Antioxidants – Organic fruits & vegetables often contain higher levels of antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids. These compounds help protect plants from environmental stress and offer addition benefits to humans (decreasing inflammation & oxidative stress).
Increased Vitamin & Mineral Content – Certain organic crops contain higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, magnesium, and iron.
Soil Health & Nutrient Density – Organic farming often involves crop rotation, composting, and avoidance of synthetic fertilizers / pesticides. These practices vastly improve soil health; leading to more nutrient dense produce.
Lowest Pesticide Exposure – Organic produce generally contains lower levels of synthetic pesticide residue. Absences of produce pharmaceuticals reduces degradations to the sapien’s microbiome and potential hormonal contraindications.
Not Genetically Modified (Non GMO) – Organic foods do not contain genomes modified by humans for higher yields, pesticide resistance, or designer function. Genetic alterations unpredictably code for food proteins not found in nature, posing digestive and autoimmune response issues.
Just Eat The Earth
Consume the bounty of earth, not pharmaceutical industrial chemicals. If produce doesn’t certify organic, the possibility of consuming genetically modified foods dosed with pesticides (endocrine & microbiota disruptors) are high. Don’t weaken the power of fruits and vegetables by fueling with industrially tainted analogs. Although claims of safety are asserted by various three letter organizations, it is unclear what accumulation of low dosage exposures do over time.
~Cave Implementation~
Only gather fruits and vegetables organically certified; and or seek farmer’s markets where one can connect with foods and farms. Admittedly, organic foods will decay quicker and are accompanied by higher price points, there is no price on good health: immaculately indispensable and invaluable.
