This Halloween, treat your body to natural health foods that will keep you flourishing. You can still enjoy a fun festive Holiday without destroying your teeth and your organs. Refined, processed, bleached white sugar, corn syrup, brown sugar, artificial flavor, artificial colors, and synthetic fillers do not belong in your food or your body. The healthiest Halloween sweets and snacks are those that you can purchase in your local health food store. There are plenty of tasty natural health foods available. When buying snack chips, look for healthy ingredients, such as white, organic yellow, or blue corn, potatoes, sea salt, safflower, sunflower, canola, or corn oil, pure natural vegetable extracts and natural seasonings. The healthiest natural seasonings are natural pepper, sea salt, sage, marjoram, parsley, mint, oregano, garlic, turmeric, and cayenne. These are a few examples, but the key is that they should be natural, whole, organic ingredients that are safe to eat that you can pronounce. Healthy pretzel snacks contain ingredients, such as wheat flour or whole wheat flour, salt or sea salt, safflower oil, barley malt, and soy oil.

A healthy organic plant-based healthy vegan diet has many wonderful benefits.  When you eat foods that grow and that are free of animal protein, you feel lighter, more vibrant, and healthier.  The decision to adapt a complete plant-based vegan diet creates a very positive ripple effect in many ways.  Adapting a complete vegan diet is the single most important thing you can do to help the environment, the animals, and humankind.

Seemingly at first thought, organic and natural foods products might be the same. Both are highly prized by people wanting to “go green and be healthy.” Both have been used in advertising. But is there a difference?

To dispel the myth: organic and natural are not the same. There are real differences. Organic food and products are to be free of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and preservatives. Organic foods products and foods are governed by standards for food production, handling and processing throughout the world. In the United States, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certifies a food or product as “organic”.  Look for the seal of approval from the USDA right on the package. If a product displays the label, the manufacturer must follow specific guidelines during the manufacturing and processing of natural health foods, natural diet foods, etc.
