Savy Supermarket Health Shopper

Although we try to buy our fruits and vegetables from a farmers' market, the growing season is limited in some areas. Lets face it, we all buy our foods and produce at the supermarkets. If you've adopted a healthy lifestyle it will  pay to know how to shop and what to avoid.

The first thing to remember is to shop the perimeter, among other things, because that's where the healthier foods are. That's where you have your produce, meats and dairy. The other aisles should be limited to a few items. Play the interactive Supermarket Game, and learn the importance of healthy eating and shopping.

The food label continues to be a mystery to most people. If your still confused then play the Food Label Game. I guess it wouldn't be complete unless you know your food portions.

The best thing to do when you go grocery shopping is to shop with a full stomach to avoid impulse buying. You should always have a shopping list that fits your needs. Try this one or this one or maybe this one and this one.

Now all you need are recipes.
