Seven Good Reasons To Grow Vegetables Yourself

By Susanne Marra

In the last decade we have seen changes towards homogenized and mechanized farming using hormones, additives, herbicides and continued use of pesticides as well as synthetic fertilizers and mass production. These practices are noticeable affecting mans health. In addition new diseases are spreading between humans and animals like swine and bird flu.

The World Health Organization generates reports showing that the use of chemicals and other substances in food, combined with the manufacturing systems used, can actually be a threat for our well being.

If you can manage the room for a few pots or even a small outdoor garden, it is a great idea to grow your own organic vegetable garden. Today I'm explaining seven reasons for doing this:

1. You will have no additives in your vegetables. Research by organic food associations has shown that additives in our food can cause heart diseases, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity.

2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products are applied to obtain crops all the time regardless plagues or weather conditions, and affect the quality of the vegetables. Pesticides are poisonous to humans.

3. There will be no genetic modification. Farmers also use drugs such as antibiotics and hormones to grow larger plants and vegetables.The problem with this practice is you end up up with identical vegetables that have virtually no taste. The hormones that have been used end up being ingested by us further affecting our health.

4. Eating your own organic vegetables will be much more healthy for you. They will not contain any of the products or chemicals named above, and they will be much more natural than any ones you would find at the supermarket. Your health will not be at risk because you will then know that nothing has been added to your vegetables.

5. Your own organic vegetables will be much more tasty. The use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make vegetables grow unnaturally and take the taste away from them. With organic vegetables, your cooking will be enhanced as their flavour will show fully.

6. Organic farming is friendly to the environment. Because you won't use pesticides or other equally harming products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or the air with the chemical components.

7. Another plus from growing your own organic vegetables is that you contribute to your own self-sustainability as well as that of the planet. Communities have been started where people can exchange produce that they have grown naturally. This creates a friendly enviornment which is beneficial to everyone.

In the end, eating organic products only means that we do not add anything else to them than they would naturally have. As you can guess, additives, fertilizers, pesticides or hormones are not components of naturally grown food. To better care for your health, grown your own organic vegetables -and a few pots is all you need. - 17273
