Organic Living By Geronimo Rubio

So what do you think it means to live organically? I found out when I got together with my Girlfriend, Vicky. Aside from eating organic foods which means pesticide free vegetables, fruits and such, organic living applies to many aspects in life. Organic Beef, Chicken and wild caught  fish (Salmon in our case) can mean a healthy lifestyle with longevity in your life. Life today is filled with technical mayhem trying to control our lives, many of which we have grown so accustomed to and need on a daily basis. And we really don't stop to think if it could be affecting our health - especially somewhere down the line in our future. Usually when you meet someone or hear of someone changing their lifestyle to that of an organic one, it's usually because of an unexpected health condition (MS, Cancer or Allergies) that unfortunately happened without warning. It goes to show you, me and everyone on Mother Earth how bad eating and living can truly have major repercussions and effects from man-made chemicals and artificial crap existing in our present daily lifestyles. If you stop and realize what truly is happening, it makes perfect sense that to live in an artificial, unhealthy lifestyle we can be affected seriously unlike Mother Earth has intended for all of us. Even if you don't change everything over to an organic lifestyle, you can at least change a few things that will greatly improve your health and quality of life. Please take the time to read up on all organic living tips that I will so graciously give to you in the coming years. If you enjoy what I have to say and enjoy a better quality of life, you will be surprised how much there is to learn about organic living. Peace my friends.
