Healthy Grocery Shopping




Grocery shopping is something we all have to do, even



though choosing the right foods can be very hard



indeed. To assist you with your healthy grocery



shopping, the tips below can indeed help make things



easier than ever before:





1. Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.





2. Select canned fruits and tuna that are packed in



water, not oil or syrup.





3. Look at the labels for the words "hydrogenated"



or "partially hydrogenated". The earlier you see



them appear on the list, the higher the amount of



unhealthy trans fatty acids the food will contain.





4. Don't buy turkey with the skin on it, and if



you plan to buy chicken - buy a chicken breast



meal.





5. When you select frozen dinners, select those



that are not only low in fat, but low in sodium



and cholesterol as well.





6. If you aren't consuming enough dairy products,



go with calcium fortified orange juice instead.





7. Go for whole grain breads, cereals, and rolls.





8. Give cantaloupe a try. With just 95 calories,



half of the melon will provide more than a day's



supply of Vitamin C and beta carotene.





9. Don't be tricked into buying yogurt covered



by nuts or raisins, as the coating is normally



made of sugar and partially hydrogenated oils.





10. Get some of the low fat treats, such as



pretzels, ginger snaps, and angel food cake.





By following the above tips when grocery shopping,



you'll avoid the bad foods and get those that you



need. There are many different healthy foods at



the grocery store, all it takes is the will power



to go past the bad foods and on to the good ones.
