Going organic is a big lifestyle change … it means paying more attention to what is in your home, going into your lungs, entering your stomach, and being put on your skin than you ever have in your life! However, there are thousands of people that swear they have much healthier, more vibrant lives because of the change to organic. It simply makes sense to live as close to nature as you possibly can. If you are thinking about a change to organic (or have started already), today we take you through five products that many people don't know there is an organic version of, from organic vitamins and gut bacteria, to organic t-shirts.
Fruit and vegetables
This is an obvious one. But while you probably know there are organic fruits and vegetables out there, what you probably don't realize is the range that is available. You can get just about anything, from raspberries to pawpaw to dates to baby corn to prepacked lettuce, spinach and squash. Look for stores online that will deliver to you -- you can often get a better price than in the supermarket.
Gift Hampers
There are a hundred stores that sell gift hampers, but only a few that sell organic ones. Hampers are a great way to introduce your friends and loved ones to the awesome taste and better nutrition that organic foods provide. Of course, you can always make up your own organic hamper, too!
Mushrooms are often heavily coated in chemicals to help protect them from environmental factors they are so vulnerable to. You can get the benefits of maitake mushrooms in organic form, with no counterproductive chemicals, from the famous whole food multivitamin company New Chapter.
Shampoo and Conditioner
If you have an aversion to chemicals, you probably avoid reading the back of your shampoo bottle … it is just too depressing. You can actually get organic shampoo and conditioner that is just as good as the synthetic version at cleaning and conditioning your hair … and much better at looking after your body!
Wine
Growing winegrapes can use a lot of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Many people that drink organic wine claim the hangover is almost non-existent, compared to standard wine. Good enough reason for me!
