Why Eat Organic Chicken?
It is not a secret to anyone that chicken is healthier than a fried burger. If you are really health-conscious, buying organic chicken is your best choice and here is why.
Eating non-organic chicken on a regular basis is not the safest choice, because many farmers commonly use arsenic, best known as a deadly poison, in conventional chicken feed. Multiple studies show that prolonged exposure to arsenic may cause type 2 diabetes, heart and liver diseases and even certain forms of cancer.
According to a recent study, women who are overexposed to arsenic while pregnant may increase the risks of their children having cancer later in life.
Other studies and research showed that young chickens have the highest levels of arsenic among other meats and poultry. According to the research it may be up to four times higher than in other meats.
Arsenic is called a deadly poison for a reason, because exposure to large quantities causes immediate death.
No arsenic is used in organic chicken feed. Organic chickens are fed all natural grains, which were grown on chemical and pesticide free farms. Organic chicken is also not given antibiotics, vaccines or growth hormones. They get daily access to sunshine and fresh air and they have lots of room to move. If you think that sunshine and fresh air only benefits the chickens, you are wrong.
Chicken that can run freely and are living healthier lives, have used muscles, instead of wasted muscles. Organic chicken and their eggs have a richer taste; they have high beneficial fats and higher amounts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
Not everyone can afford buying organic food and organic meat regularly. People on a budget should check local farms and look for organic farmers in their area. They often offer organic food and poultry for lower prices.
If you are not convinced that buying organic chicken is better for your health, give it a try anyway. You will taste the difference and may never want to go back to conventionally raised chicken again.
