For many years I was an avid coffee drinker! Having spent a number of years living in Rome I guess that it was only natural that I had developed a real taste for all forms of coffee and that my favourites were some of those with the dark richness of the best Italian Coffees.

But then…..I discovered that I had a Wheat and Gluten Allergy and along with that too much coffee was having an adverse effect! So I started to explore some of the variety of teas that were available and especially concentrating on those which were free of the dreaded preservatives and other additives which infects so many of our foods now!

Of course being English we drink lots of tea anyway and here are some thoughts on the health benefits of tea!

Many parents see organic baby food in health food stores or regular grocery aisles and simply pass it by. You probably think “I grew up on regular baby food and I’m fine”. Think about it this way, do you baby proof your gardening chemicals, or is your baby allowed to eat and drink pesticides? Okay perhaps it’s not an equal comparison, after all there are only small amounts of toxic chemicals from pesticides and fertilizers in traditional baby food but do you really want to take the risk?

So do these chemicals really affect the health or your child? Many people believe that chemicals just wash away through our system and don’t stay around, but they’re actually absorbed into the body and accumulate. Kids who eat regular baby foods have been found to have noticeable levels of pesticides and fertilizers that disappear when they’re switched to organic food. While the effects of these chemicals haven’t been 100% proven to harm children, it is suggested that they could damage internal organs and even change cellular structure. Even if these effects haven’t been proven, is that a chance you want to take with your child?

Now, you may or may not notice the change to your system when you switch to organic food, but the change will be more noticeable for your child. Babies are not only using their food to survive, they’re using it to grow. Babies and children eat much more food per pound of body weight compared to adults. They also process it differently. Some studies have found that pesticides and other chemicals can affect children as much as ten times more than they affect adults.

You may notice that the price tags on organic baby food are a little bit higher than on regular baby food. There are some ways to reduce the cost without risking the health of your child. Certain traditionally grown foods are still very low in pesticide levels and are safe for your baby. These include bananas, broccoli, mangos, papaya, pineapple, and sweet peas. You should switch to organic for high pesticide level foods such as apples, strawberries, peaches, pears, and spinach. Another way to cut back costs is to make your own baby food. That way, you can buy or grow organic vegetables and be sure of what exactly is going into your baby’s food. Do a search for homemade organic baby food online and you’ll find thousands of great recipes your child is bound to love.

In our modern day society full of sick or obese children, it’s a good idea to get your child to start eating right as early as possible. The best way to do that is by giving them organic baby food. That way you know your child is getting all the benefits of the fruits and vegetables without any of the hidden dangers of pesticides. If that’s not enough for you, remember that buying and eating organics also helps protect the environment to ensure it’s healthy when your child is grown.
