5 Quick tips for shopping healthier:
1. Shop the perimeter of the store- If you avoid the middle aisles you are more likely to be purchasing fresh foods like fruits and vegetables, rather than frozen meals or sugary cereals and snacks.
2. Read the label- There is a great deal of important information that can be attained on a label. To keep it easy avoid added sugars and ingredients you can’t pronounce.
3. Eat a variety- In order to get a balanced amount of nutrients it is important to eat different meals. This concept is also important to avoid acquiring food allergies. Eating the same thing every day is not only boring but, also not the best choice for eating healthy. Remember, make your plate colorful.
4. Switch to tea- If you are drinking a “cup of joe” every day try switching to green tea, as it has a higher antioxidant content and less caffeine. There are also many other great ways to get off coffee like “Teeccino”. Your insides will appreciate it.
5. Going Organic- While this is obvious, you don’t need to go all out every time you see the big “O”. Store brands organic is still organic. Also, foods such as Bananas, Watermelons, and Avocados that have thicker outer shells are a topic of debate. If you can’t buy all organic stick to purchasing the “dirty dozen” organic to avoid strong amounts of pesticides. These consist of strawberries, apples, grapes, potatoes, peaches, nectarines, cherries, raspberries, bell peppers, celery, broccoli, blueberries, and spinach.
