Healthy Grocery Purchasing

The following article is offered in support
of any prudent nutrition and health program.
Grocery shopping is some thing we all get 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 sooner you see
them appear on the list, the higher the degree 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 reduced in fat, but lower in salt
and cholesterol as well.
6. If you aren't taking in sufficient dairy products,
go with calcium fortified orange juice as a substitute.
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 ideas when grocery shopping,
you'll avoid the lousy foods and obtain 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.
