Live Long & Prosper: The Sustainable & Organic Lifestyle
Is Spock the father of “Green-age thought”? Maybe not but life is and can be better than you’ve ever imagined it to be. All you have to do is believe his mantra, you can, live long & prosper. For some the dream is, having more time and for others it is preserving their health. Whatever your dream, it is obtainable and organic and sustainable living has more to do with it than you know. Why are you waiting for a solution outside of yourself to arrive? All you have to do is – DECIDE to become the solution. You may not transform overnight into a Green Goddess or an Eco Adventurer but as with any courageous goal, this can be accomplished in baby steps, one step and one commitment at a time.
What’s the fuss about? Sustainable living in short, allows us to reuse and recycle materials into repurposed and often times, more efficient goods, which limit the over use of natural resources and the impact that pollution has on our earth. Adhering to an organic eating lifestyle, that includes the use of organic spices, limits our health risk to mood disorders, cancer and a myriad of other wellness inhibitors. Did you know that
“According to a recent study by the Globe and Mail and CTV News, of the nutrient quality of fruit and vegetables, compared to 50 years ago, today’s regular fruit and vegetables contain dramatically less vitamins and minerals7. The average potato has lost 100% of its vitamin A, 57% of its vitamin C and iron, 28% of its calcium, 50% of its riboflavin, and 18% of its thiamin. Out of seven key nutrients studied, only niacin levels increased. Similar results applied to 24 other fruits and vegetables. For broccoli, all seven nutrients fell, including a 63% decrease in calcium and a 34% decrease in iron. No wonder we are gulping down the supplements. In April 2001, however, a US study examined 41 comparisons of the nutrient levels in organic and regular foods. In every case, the organic crops had higher nutrient levels - 27% more vitamin C, 29% more iron, 14% more phosphorus8”.
