But in developed countries like US, Japan, and other countries the term 'organic' is precisely defined by the government and there are certain rules prescribed regarding the quantity of production. No individual can use this term unless it satisfies the defined criteria.

There are two broad categories of organic food.

1. Fresh food

2. Processed food.

Fresh organic foods are produced without any involvement of artificial chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics etc. and are usually the products of farming. They are highly perishable in nature and are not available in all the seasons.

]]> Canning and Preserving Fresh Food http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=95985 Sat, 4 Sep 2010 12:49 GMT http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=95985 The practice of food preservation has been around for generations. The canning process was passed down through the ages. However, changes in society during the 20th century caused many people to veer away from canning their own food. There were too main reasons:

The convenience that grocery stores offered already processed foods. People stopped growing their own food and no longer raised livestock. Recently the idea of Canning and Preserving Fresh Food has made an upswing in popularity. This more sudden attractiveness has a twofold premise also.

]]> Reduce Fat But Eat Fresh Food http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=95756 Thu, 2 Sep 2010 07:23 GMT http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=95756 Eating the right food to lose weight is one thing but just as important is eating the right food to keep you healthy. Sure you'll feel fitter when you lose weight but that doesn't mean you are healthy or that your body is functioning properly. We live in the age of processed food which is not good for you. Nearly everything you see in a food store nowadays is processed stuff. The makers have played around with the original so much and added so many preservatives, flavours, artificial tastes and colourings to it that it's a wonder it can be classified as food. That includes those frozen and takeaway meals too Sometimes I think food manufacturers are more occupied with the colourful packaging than the contents. After all, they're in it for the money.

But we should eat to be healthy. No matter how much you might like it, the processed stuff is not good for you. You need to think fresh food - fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. It's still around. You can still buy it. And it's  the real thing. People have been living on it since civilisation began.

The Truth About Processed Foods: Eat a good, balanced diet. This is vital to good health. Our food does not just provide the energy we need for daily living, it also provides the raw materials for healthy cell turnover and fuels our natural repair system.

Fruit and vegetables are nature's anti-aging remedy, protecting us from many of the diseases we associate with later life. I cannot stress how vital this is; being overweight will seriously reduce the chances of a healthy older age as there is a greater risk of heart disease, stroke, arthritis and diabetes.

1. I recently started exercising and so I indulge in my favourite foods. Why is it that I have gained weight? It is a myth that if you exercise, you can indulge and eat whatever pleases you. Even with exercise, you must follow a low-fat diet and combine it with regular exercise, to knock off weight and keep it off.

Learn to re-educate your appetite so that you are in control of it. The easiest way to know if you are really hungry is to wait a while before you eat. Give yourself 20 minutes, if you are still hungry, it means your body needs the food. If not, it's a craving and you can control the urge to eat.

]]> Eat for you... not two Pregnant women are risking their health by piling on pounds http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=93112 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:28 GMT http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=93112 Expectant mothers who eat for two could jeopardise their health for decades, doctors warned last night. Women who put on too much weight in pregnancy are more than four times as likely to be obese 20 years later as those who follow doctors' guidelines.

Being obese can take nine years off a person's life and raise the risk of health problems including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, infertility, depression and some cancers.

Experts said there had been too much emphasis on ensuring babies were born at a healthy weight and not on the health needs of mothers.

The news came as it also emerged that men who are obese at 20 are twice as likely to die young. The research on mothers-to-be questioned the traditional approach of encouraging them to eat more.

]]> High-fat pregnancy diet increases risk of birth defects http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=92652 Thu, 8 Jul 2010 08:32 GMT http://OrganicDine.com/article.asp?articleid=92652 Women who eat a high-fat diet during pregnancy may put their child at risk of birth defects, a new report has found. British researchers carried out a study on mice which showed a pregnant mother's diet could affect the genes of her unborn child, influencing types and severity of birth defects, such as cleft palate and congenital heart disease.

"These are very important findings as we have been able to show for the first time that gene-environment interactions can affect development of the embryo in the womb," said study leader Jamie Bentham of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford.
