Daily Wellness Tip - Shop Smart

This post is inspired from the 7/23 Oprah episode with Dr. Oz.

He was giving advice to a mom who has an overweight child. One of the things he told her was that healthy eating starts with a trip to the grocery store. He couldn’t be more right.

So the next time you are grocery shopping, think smart, think healthy! When the cabinets are full of junk - it’s not the fault of the cabinet! You put that food in there - you have control over what goes on the shelves next time.

A few tips for when you go to the grocery (these help me).

  • Go with a list - when I know what I want it’s saves me from roaming every aisle
  • Avoid grocery shopping when you’re hungry - then I buy everything in sight and eat it on the way home!
  • Plan meals ahead - and shop for those ingredients only
  • Shop the perimeter - that’s where the fresh food is!
