~ admin ~ Leave a comment

pestHumans Are Free – Everyone knows that organic is the healthier choice. Now, new evidence sheds even more light on just how important it is to eat organic food. A groundbreaking study suggests that you can significantly cut down your risk of cancer just by eating organic.

While organic food tends to be more expensive, this landmark study may just change your mind if you’re on the fence about spending the extra money.

Cancer statistics are scary, to say the least. The chance that you will develop cancer at some point in your life is almost 40% if you’re a male and 37% if you’re a female (1). This new study suggests you can shave off quite a few digits from those risk percentages. Continue reading →

How to Choose Real Organic Food for a Healthy Diet

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

pestFor nearly two decades now, more and more people have been looking after their bodies and health better, deciding to live more active lifestyles and lose weight. While this is an admirable intention, the ways through which they decide to do this are fairly questionable.

In the US alone, the weight-loss market is valued at over $10 billion annually, which includes supplements, books, training programs, and gym equipment that promises to deliver immediate results.

However, maintaining an active lifestyle isn’t possible for everyone, especially for seniors or those with reduced mobility as they require special protection equipment and even bath seats to be able to enjoy a hot bath after working out. Continue reading →

Why Organic Food is Not Only Good for the Body, But the Mind and Soul Too

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

organic foodCarolanne Wright – In this day and age, most are aware that organic food is better for the health of people and the planet. With increasing levels of exposure to toxins in the environment — like the burning of fossil fuels and industrial waste — now more than ever, it’s important to consume a clean diet to keep the body healthy and strong. But while organic food consumption is on the rise, we still have much to learn about the overall benefits for personal and collective health, not only on a physical level, but also mentally and, some say, spiritually too.

The Rise of Cancer, ADHD and Endocrine Disorders

In 1962, Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring brought the problem of pesticides into the limelight, educating the general public about the exceptional dangers of these chemicals to our health and the environment. Decades later, we may not be in as much active contact with DDT, but we’re exposed to equally harmful pesticides in greater concentrations — much more so than in the past. The Toxics Action Center offers a sobering insight into the issue: Continue reading →

Organic Industry Is Exploding In Wisconsin As Demand For Clean, Healthy Food Outpaces Supply

~ admin ~ 1 Comment

Jennifer Lilley – While many people still need convincing that choosing organic foods is better for their own health as well as for the environment, that’s not the case for Wisconsin residents. There, the organic industry is taking off in full force due to the high demand for healthy foods.

demandThe state, which has the second highest number of organic farms in the country, boasts 69 organic beef and 466 organic dairy farms, as well as 161 organic vegetable and melon farms. While the fact that people throughout the state want to eat foods void of harmful pesticides and disturbing growing practices is certainly uplifting news, residents are discovering that their demand is building faster than the actual supply of such foods.(1)

Rather than seeing this as a problem, many view this surge in organic preferences as an optimistic trend in which healthy lifestyles are chosen over Frankenfoods. Sure, the demand is outpacing the supply, but the fact that the demand is there in the first place shows that people desire healthy options. Furthermore, it’s not expected that there will be any food depletion issues due to demand exceeding supply; experts point to consumer and population trends that will likely create balance and meet everyone’s needs.

Wisconsin poised to keep its organic agriculture thriving

Dr. Erin Silva, co-author of the “Organic Agriculture in Wisconsin 2015 Status Report,” says that it’s highly unlikely that consumers will slow down in their requests for organic foods. “With the demand still strong,” she said, “we don’t foresee a potential erosion of the organic premium. The projections do continue to see demand increasing over the next five years or so.”(1)

In addition to increased health awareness in general, Silva also says that younger generations who are interested in organic farming will propel the demand while ensuring its availability.(1) Continue reading →

“This system features 3D-printable components posted online for free.” – M Adams

HomeGrowFoodSystemNaturalNews Press Release ~ A Texas patent holder and inventor has launched a collection of 3D-printable objects that function as key components in a non-electric, home-based food grow system that can be operated for pennies. The story of the invention — as well as the 3D-printable parts — is available at the non-profit www.FoodRising.org website.

The Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box grows enormous quantities of food without using electricity or soil. It requires no weeding and uses no pumps, motors or complex parts of any kind. It grows highly-nutritious, mineral-rich foods using about 1/20 the water of conventional agriculture and about half the space of soil gardening.

Mike Adams, also known as the “Health Ranger,” developed the system based on the work of Professor Kratky (see below) and gives away the 3D-printable parts via downloadable files at FoodRising.org. Adams is also distributing DIY videos that instruct people on how to build their own systems using inexpensive parts and common tools.

All the 3D-downloadable parts are available now at:

Pre-built systems are offered for sale at www.SupplySource.com and the t-glase filament needed to print out the parts is also available at www.SupplySource.com Continue reading →
