I took a poll regarding what people struggled most with. The majority said that they struggled the most with eating healthy. Sometimes it does take one a little while to change one's bad habits. Until, one can become strong enough to resist the foods that are not good for them they must put themselves in an environment where they can make better food choices. Eating and shopping is no different.
When you know better you have to do better. So, where can you shop to make better food and health choices?
Health food stores are a great place to shop. They are small and it's easy to find what you need and you don't get so overwhelmed. I believe that you will also be more likely to try out different foods that you might of not thought of to try which are better for your health.
Here are some name's of health food stores:
1. The Natural Food Patch
2. Trader Joe's
3. Whole Foods Market
4. Wild Oats
5. The Better Health Food Store
Another store that is not a health food store but in my opinion is making an effort to give their customers better food choices is Meijer's.
Eating locally is good for your health too. You should eat foods in your locale because they contain the cure and antidote for all the little viruses, bugs, and special bacterial strains that occur in your area. Today, we are getting food from all over the world, and we don't know what kinds of chemicals they are using to treat them or what's in them.
A prime example is the salmonella problem we are now having. They don't know where the problem is coming from. That is another disadvantage of having food coming from everywhere. They don't know who is doing what.
To find out where you can buy your food locally go to: Local Harvest.
A way that you can tell if your food is grown locally is to look on the package and it will tell you if that fruit or vegetable is grown in your state. Randazzo's sells a lot of Michigan produce and they also have honey from there too. You should be able to know where your food is coming from and this is a way that you can.
