Buy Organic Foods : Organic food helps protect the planet.
Organic farming ensures that bio-diversity remains available in the foods we eat and the wildlife that live on the farms.

Fruits and vegetables are naturally available in 100's of varieties. Commercial growing limits the variety of each food available by mass producing only a handful. Many species of birds, insects and other animals are affected by the chemicals and farming conditions used in growing commercial foods.

Organic farms grow a mix of crops and promote a balanced ecosystem including insects that protect crops from pests and worms and other micro-organisms which fertilize the soil.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to consume fewer food without feeling hungry.
It's also very efficient for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling surges in glucose amount.
