Tips for an Organic Diet and Lifestyle

There are challenges which come with eating organic. I hope the tips on embracing an organic diet highlighted on this page can help make your organic journey smoother and more fulfilling.

General tips

First and foremost, be very clear about your objectives of eating organic foods. This will help keep you focused and committed to your dietary choice, especially in times of hunger, hurry, frustration, or challenge by other people.

If you can, be part of a community of like-minded people, so you can have moral support and people to dine with as well as to share information and ideas with.
At the very least, have a partner or advocate who understands you, supports you and shares your vision.

Sources of food

It would be good for you to have a list of your favorite places for your organic diet – cafes, restaurants, etc.

In addition, you may also want to have a list of favorite health food stores which stock up on healthy organic food products.

I keep lists of both these groups of places. Over time, I also slowly become friends with their owners and workers. It’s fun.

If you can locate one, join a co-operative. Co-ops exist for the welfare of its members, and you would usually be able to obtain products which are more reasonably priced, with minimal markup in their prices.

Another tip for eating organic which you may want to consider is to buy locally grown produce which are in season. This way, you can not only support your local farmers, you will also be able to obtain your fruits and vegetables as fresh as possible.

There is a theory that it would bring you better health to eat organic food, including herbs, which grow locally in your area. In any case, this makes sense because the foods you would be getting would be fresher than those imported from halfway around the world.
