Walk into an average grocery store and you face a choice—47,000 choices of products, actually. And their labels advertise terms such as low fat, high fiber, free range, and organic.
Some matter, some don't. But those labels aren't even the most confusing part: Many scientists say organic is more nutritious than conventionally grown food, while others say it's not.
The back and forth is enough to make us "eat what's available when we're hungry and try not to think too much about it because it's all so disheartening and confusing," writes Maria Rodale in her new book,Organic Manifesto.
Sadly, not buying organic food is a mistake that you—as a man—can no longer afford to make. According to new studies, eating organic foods can help you build more muscle and burn more fat, not to mention protect the environment from harmful pesticides and increase your chances of siring healthy offspring (sons in particular).
Here are 20 top organic foods to get you started.Add them to your grocery list to upgrade your diet, strengthen your body, and help heal the planet.
