In a perfect world we would all eat healthy, organic food. Unfortunately the price of eating organic can be extremely pricey at times. If you can’t afford to buy all organic, at least try to buy the most important foods certified organic. Here are the top three foods that you should always eat organic.

1. Milk. There are so many cows which are fed hormones in order to ensure they grow up the way that farmers want them to. Also, the widespread use of antibiotics on farmed animals can create drug resistant infections. There is no question that you do not want these hormones and antibiotics in your system, so opt to buy milk and other dairy products organic-they are usually only a dollar or so more expensive.

2. If you are not eating organic meat you should think twice. For the same reason you should buy organic dairy products you should be buying your meat organic. Not only are cattle commonly given hormones, but they can be fed grain which is grown using pesticides. Organic meat can be a little pricier but it’s a small price to pay to ensure you are not putting toxins into your body.

3. Coffee. Buying organic coffee may seem like its not worth the effort but it most definitely is. Most coffee beans are grown in countries where there are no rules or regulations on the types of pesticides that are used, meaning you could be exposed to a variety of different toxins . If your coffee is certified organic you can ensure that no harmful chemicals were used.
