Neals Yard News – Organic crops higher in beneficial antioxidants, lower in pesticides
Natural Health News — New research shows there are significant nutritional differences between organic and conventional crops.
The analysis – the largest of its kind to date – published in the British Journal of Nutrition – looked at fresh vegetables, fruit and cereals (as well as some pre-prepared foods such as baby food as well as wine and seed oils) in order to determine what nutritional differences, if any, there might be.
According to study the most striking differences revealed in the study are: higher concentrations of antioxidants and less frequent presence of pesticide residues in organic crops compared with non-organic.
Based on 343 peer-reviewed publications solely focusing on organic crops, fruit and vegetables, the Newcastle University scientists found that with greater nutrient and antioxidant density, every mouthful of fruit and vegetables produced organically can count for more.
On average organic produce had between 18% and 69% more antioxidant compounds. Smaller, but still statistically significant, composition differences were also detected for a number of carotenoids and vitamins.
A switch to eating organic fruit, vegetable and cereals (and foods made from them), they say, would lead to a 20–40% (and for some compounds up to a 60%) increase in crop-based antioxidant and polyphenolic consumption without any increase in calories.
They noted that, in particular, there is increasing evidence that higher levels of manufactured chemical fertilisers, most […]
A warm AoR welcome to our first celebrity supporter: Susie Amy
We are very proud to have the actress Susie Amy as our first celebrity supporter. Susie has been in many plays, film and TV series including 71 degrees North but is probably still best known for her role as Chardonnay in Football’s wives back in 2002.
Susie came to reflexology by way of Wentworth golf course, before eventually finding one of our members for her regular sessions! She has a regular blog where she discusses all things beauty and health related at http://blusherandblogging.com/.
Here we ask her a few questions:
Susie, it’s wonderful that you’d like to become a supporter of the AoR! How did you first become interested in reflexology?
I had reflexology for the first time about ten years ago, with David Alexander who worked
at Wentworth Club. I had reiki sessions with him, too. David could change my state of
mind in an hour! Luckily, when David moved on, I met Paolo who works from Neville’s
salon. He has become a friend as well as my reflexologist. He has taught me a lot, and is a
very passionate and knowledgeable man.
How did you hear about the AoR?
I heard about the AoR from my reflexologist Paolo, who is a member of the AoR. I am
about to start studying reflexology, so he answered many of my questions. I actually
feel that I have a step up from a complete beginner as I am so well informed!
Did anyone in your family have an interest in holistic therapies when you were
growing up?
Not especially when […]
