Six steps to healthy food shoppingSuggestions from our food writer of the month

• Shop the edges of the supermarket. Most supermarkets put healthy food on the sides of the store: fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, and fish.

• Your shopping cart should look colorful. Carrots, peppers, tomatoes, oranges, and broccoli add color to your shopping cart – and health to your diet.

• Red meat is OK. But fish, chicken, beans, and eggs are also excellent sources of protein.

• Don’t buy food your great-great-grandfather could not recognize-food that did not exist a hundred years ago. Some packaged foods, like cookies and crackers, have a lot of artificial ingredients. Read the labels. If you can’t pronounce most of the ingredients on the package, don’t buy it!

• The lables “low fat” and “sugar free” do not necessarily mean “good for your health.”

• Don’t go shopping when you are hungry. You will buy more unnecessary snacks. If you have a sweet tooth, buy dried fruit instead of candy or cookies.

NO MORE COUCH POTATO

•What do you think a couch potato is?

• Here’s a way for parents to move their snack-eating, TV-watching children from the family sofa: a bicycle connected electrically to the TV. To see their favorite show, the kids have to pedal.

• About 55 percent of American adults and more than 13 percent of young people ages 6 through 17 are overweight.

• Research shows that young people are watching too much television and eating too many snacks at the same time. Many of them are not getting enough exercise. Formal exercise programs do not help much because it is difficult to get to a gym or playground regularly, particularly for young children with working parents.

• As a result, scientists are looking for home-based ways to get kids moving. David Allison, the inventor of the “TV cycle”, believes that scientists should look for imaginative ways to encourage physical activity. He also suggests charging money to ride an elevator. This way, more people will use the stairs!
