Food Factors
You may have wondered why there are news in some television programs and even newspaper clippings about people who are still alive despite of their old age which is more than a hundred years. You may also wonder about the factors that helped them to be able to live that long and still maintain a healthy and functioning body even if they are that old as compared to you who is so much younger but a simple climb up to the stairs make you run out of breath.

One of the factors that affect their long life is the kind of food they eat. As compared to today’s food, the produce they have especially before and during the world war two have more than fifty percent of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in them. This is because they plant and grow their produce organically years and years ago.
As of today, crops and produce are grown by farmers by using chemically made insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers to immediately meet the large demand of food supply. Pesticides and insecticides farmers use to kill and get rid of pests and insects that kill and eat their plants contain chemicals that may be harmful to our health and may reduce the nutritional value of the food.
