To prepare great-tasting healthy meals, choose the right food at the source.
That’s why good nutrition starts in the market place or supermarket.
Ten years ago there were some 1,000 different foods to choose from.
Today, a typical super mega market carries more than 25,000 to 30,000 different kinds of food.
How do you know what to select? Be a smart buyer and follow this simple guideline that we will be discuss in the following days.
• Prepare for food shopping
Planning your meals, making a shopping list and sticking to it help you buy the necessary products.
If you find your self deviating from your list, put any unplanned extras on the upper portion of your shopping cart.
It keeps impulse buys in plain sight and reminds you to reconsider the purchases before reaching the cashier’s line.
Another important reminder: have a snack before you head for the grocery. You’re more apt to buy unneeded good if you shop on an empty stomach.
