Going Organic

My 3 kids seem to be slightly allergic to cow's milk from an early age. If they drink lots of them, they will develop a rattly chest and cough the following week. I'm also concerned about all the synthetic hormones in their milk and how it's effecting the children in the long run.

As my No. 3 reached 2 years of age, I've started giving her organic oat milk as alternative to cow's milk. Thank goodness, she likes the taste of it and it's worth looking into as another source of calcium as organic oat milk does eliminate a couple of the concerns raised. So far, she eats solids well and I try giving her yogurt, leafy green vegetables and other wholesome food in her diet.

For years, I've been drinking a mug of organic oat milk too to kick start my day and so does my hubby. The grain is simply nutritious and rich in fibre that contains all the natural minerals. My No.1 and No.2 prefer soy milk though as the smooth creamy taste is awesome. Ever since they take organic, they are healthy and vigorous with no health problems. This is one reason why taking organic is such a boost to health. They're costly though but I'd rather pay more money to be healthy.

Here's my little princess sitting and gleefully posing for the camera with 2 tins of organic products.

Going Organic

The organic buzz is gaining popularity nowadays. From the 'use less plastic' campaign, recycling mobile phones and energy saving hybrid cars, organic has indeed gone global.

I've started consuming organic supplements a few years ago to help maintain my well-being and I feel that my family and I benefit from this. Some decades ago, the trend was to go synthetic but these days synthetic vitamins are less effective and maybe toxic as well.

I've made an effort to gradually move towards more organic/less chemicals in my foods to reap the benefits in years to come.

On the other hand, I've to confess that at times I might not be able to control myself from such exotic food I eat outside but I stay away from fast food as much as possible. I understand that organic products can be relatively expensive so I tend to spend within my budget.

With countless organic products cluttering on the shelves, it's important to distinguish a genuine product from a fake. If you wish to purchase organic products, you should look out for certified organic label.
