Going to the supermarket is actually a little hard for people who want to be healthy. There are tons of delicious foods that can be acquired there and most of them are harmful for your health; chocolates, ice-cream, cookies, cereals; all stuff that will make you gain weight immediately. There is a variety of food which is healthy and delicious at the same time and that you should include in your daily diet:
• Vegetables and fruits: it is very important that you acquire these products since it is the essential part of a healthy diet.
• Whole grain products
• Fish, poultry and lean meats: these are the types of meats that you should be acquiring since are the healthiest for you. Avoid breaded and fried meats.
• Legumes eggs and nuts are some other proteins that are good for your body; try to acquire them as well.
• Drinks: try to drink water as much as you can, you can also buy low fat milk and herbal teas. If you are the soda type of person it’s either try to avoid them as much as you can or get the light ones.
• Frozen products: Choose the ones which are healthy; vegetable portions, protein and make sure you are not acquiring a high fat frozen meal.
• Condiments, oil and dressings: I would give two descriptions for these: they are sources of refined sugar and poor quality oils.
• Desserts: just because some products are low fat doesn’t mean they are not good desserts. Try getting fresh fruits and some healthy nuts. There is light ice-cream as well in case you are an ice cream lover.

I think the two biggest aisles to avoid all together is the snack aisle which has potato chips, dips and snack crackers. Try eating fresh fruit or raw vegetables, like carrots, for a snack. Also avoid the soft drink aisle. Try drinking water and if you want some flavor, try lemon juice to flavor your water. Green tea is also really good for your health and makes a good alternative choice.

hoose foods that provide a rich source of many of the essential nutrients needed for optimal health. Include the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, lean meats, fish, olive oil, herbs and spices that you enjoy and are familiar to you and your family. An occasional exotic food may be a new experience, but if you or your family will not eat it, why include it in your list? When it comes to vegetables, try picking from the rainbow of colors available to maximize variety. Buy non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, carrots, broccoli or green beans.

- Select those foods that are chock full of rich natural nutrients, are not highly processed and do not contain artificial ingredients and toxic substances. Remember, read labels carefully. If you can‘t pronounce it, it probably is not good for your health.

- Choose whole grain foods instead of processed grain products. Try brown rice and whole-wheat spaghetti or spinach pasta. Include dried beans (like kidney or pinto beans) and lentils. Choose whole grain breads this means breads that say 12 grain not just whole wheat.
