Sunday Scribblings prompt *Organic*

The dictionary gives this as one of numerous definitions of the word organic:


1.
noting or pertaining to a class of chemical compounds that formerly comprised only those existing in or derived from plants or animals, but that now includes all other compounds of carbon.

To me this was an interesting prompt for Sunday Scribblings, I think that if we are creative enough there can be numerous takes on this prompt. So now here is my take on organic.

In todays world, we are encouraged to be healthy, to exercise, and eat things in moderation. Do we do this as a whole in society? No we do not. Do we indulge in all that we want? For the most part I would say yes.

What is moderation? What is healthy? What is exercise? Why the hype on organic free range foods?

I think everyone has to realize that moderation is going to vary from one person to the next. For one thing we are not all the same size, our metabolism rates aren't all the same, and everyone has certain criteria that just has to be met whether it be from a medical point, or just due to their genetic makeups to religious beliefs. So moderation will be determined by your bodies height, weight, and BMI=body mass index. So what does this mean? This means that due to a chart that may say that at 5'7 if you are a female you should weigh 133 lbs. However, this may not be good for all 5'7 inch tall females. Some women have large bones, some medium, some small. You may have a fast metabolism, you may have a slow one. You may be active and you may not. So your correct daily intake will depend on this. We do know that moderation is some key to weight loss and making you eat properly. We also know that eating six small meals a day is key to keeping up your energy as well as speeding up that metabolism if done with the proper foods. Such has protein, fruit, and veggies, nuts and berries and ofcourse plenty of water all day long.

Healthy to me is depending on how much you are willing to work to maintain your proper weight, eat a healthy diet and incorporating exercise. To some healthy may vary well be eating whatever, whenever and no exercise. Everyone has their own definition.

Exercise is movement. We all do it whether it is getting up from bed and going to the bathroom you have moved. So what is the big deal? The big deal is that you need to change up the routine. You need to warm up, speed up, and cool down. You need to do this atleast 4-5 times a week and get in atleast half hour to forty five minutes of it. You will see increase in energy, less fatigue, and perhaps you won't be as hungry. Also can help with decreasing stress, and helping to get you out of a catagory of unfit and heading for cardiac issues as well as other health issues that can be traumatic as well as fatal.

So why the hype on organic free range foods? Well the reason is cause these are foods that have not had additives or preservatives added to them to enhance their flavor, or color. You get them exactly as they are in the truest and puriest form. The hype is with the big alarm about our country being so obese, people are beginning to take notice. Some people are doing it cause it is the "fad" thing to do. These types of food will cost you much more than your grocery store foods. Can you find some in the grocery store yes you can. The best places to go are your whole food stores or stores like Trader Joes. They use local farmers who are all about being organic. They only use what is in nature to get the best of results. So what does organic mean to me? Organic means truly simple in its purest form.
