Using natural cosmetics is not the only way to boost beauty and health, as one expert has recommended switching to organic foods.

According to nutritional therapist, author and founder of de-stressyourlife.com Charlotte Watts, eating products that have been grown or reared naturally is important for a balanced diet.

It was noted that organic meat will contain fewer growth hormones and antibiotics that can be passed on to humans.

"With meat and eggs, [the animal] would be grass-fed over grain-fed - this means it will have higher levels of Omega-3 oil and vitamin E," Ms Watts commented.

The nutrition specialist added that eating low-quality products means consuming poor-quality fats, which the human body struggles to retain.

Those concerned about the price of organic food were recently reassured by spokesman for the Soil Association Josh Stride that it is possible to eat such fare on a budget.

Shopping local and growing fruit and vegetables may be one way in which individuals can lower the cost of a healthy diet.
