Why not turn your grocery shopping into a treasure hunt for the healthiest choices? Nutrition labels are especially helpful for all foods that our great-grandmothers didn’t know, think chocolate bars, ready-mixed mueslis, chips or any other preprocessed food product. Before you add any item to your cart, take a moment to investigate its nutrition label. There are several apps out there that, after scanning the barcode of a product, give a rating of how healthy the product is.
This little detective work can reveal a lot about the sugar, fat, and salt content hidden in your favorite products.
Exercise caution with pre processed foods: if the sugar content exceeds 30g per 100g, or the salt content surpasses 1.5g per 100g, it’s a signal to rethink your choices for healthier alternatives. Understanding these numbers empowers you to make informed decisions that nourish you from the inside out.
When it comes to processed foods you’re not ready to completely let go of, moderation is crucial. Consider pre-packing small servings of chips or chocolate, ranging from 10-20g, and limit yourself to just one package at a time
