Monday, November 5, 2007 Shopping Healthy Everyday

The road to good health is paved with good nutrition and exercise. But for many folks traveling that road and knowing how to shop for low-fat foods rich in nutrients is a mystery.

Here are several tips to make that next trip to the market a little easier:

1. Stick to the list. Plan a weekly menu and create a list of ingredients for those meals.

2. Eat a healthy meal or snack before shopping. It’s too easy to buy too much when shopping on an empty stomach.

3. Keep to the outside lane. Most food stores keep the healthiest choices like produce, meat and dairy on the perimeter with junk food in the middle.

4. If it can’t be said, don’t pick it up. Don’t buy anything with more than five ingredients and/or anything that includes words too difficult to pronounce. Advertisement

5. Go homemade. Ban convenient, processed food; anything homemade is bound to be healthier and less expensive.

The road to weight loss and management doesn’t have to be fraught with worry. Following these steps makes it less stressful to focus on buying fruits and vegetables, lean meats and low-fat dairy products.
