Shopping tips for healthy food
Have you noticed the growing amount of nutrition information in your grocery store these days? Here are a few things you can do to make your next trip a little easier.
-Create a meal plan for the week around the food groups: vegetables and fruit, whole-grain products, alternatives and lean meat and alternatives such as fish, beans, nuts and soya.
-Make a shopping list with the foods you’ll need for the week’s meal plan. This will help you avoid impulse decisions and high fat, high salt temptations.
-Spend the maximum amount of time shopping in the outer aisles of the grocery store where you'll find the vegetables, fruit, bread, meat and milk.
-Read the Nutrition Facts table on most food packages.
-Choose products lower in salt, saturated and trans fat. Look for products that have 2 grams of fibre or more.
