Know Your Food Labels

We can all relate to having a hectic schedule, and sometimes (or often) making food choices based on options that are quick and easy to prepare. However, in many cases, these convenient foods are packed full of unhealthy additives, GMOs and chemicals. To make shopping even more confusing, sometimes foods labeled as “organic” are not the healthiest option, as they can be full of excess sugar, fat or fillers. Fortunately, with a little extra mindfulness, learning to look at labels can pay off big rewards for healthier eating. Here are some tips: 1. Fill up on fibre, not fillers. 2. Opt for good fats whenever possible. 3. Don’t choose foods with long ingredient labels.
