Do you know the 5 most common grocery shopping mistakes?

What’s the difference between sodium-reduced and low-sodium?

Is something really better for you if it says “natural”?

How can I really know if what I buy is healthy for me?

The food industry is worth $billions$ and a lot of that money is spent on marketing, gimmicks, and advertising to convince you to buy food. But all that advertising can make it difficult to figure out what is truly good for you.

Just because it has a “health check” symbol endorsed by the heart & stroke, diabetes foundation, or says “low-sugar,” or “no-fat,” doesn’t mean that it’s good for you!

At FRESH! we deal with people every day who struggle with excess body fat, lack of motivation, and have little knowledge on what they need to do to get healthy, fit, and feel great.  Learning about nutrition and how to shop for food effectively is the foundation of making positive changes in your life.

That’s why FRESH! is hosting a Grocery Store tour for our valued clients.

This Shopping Tour will help you learn the “hands-on” strategies and information necessary to navigate the crazy and confusing world of “Food Marketing” that we are bombarded with inside and outside the Grocery Store.  We look forward to seeing you at the tour!  Here are the details…

Boost your Grocery Store IQ with FRESH!

Consider this…

Food is the fuel that propels your body through life.  The things you put in your mouth literally make up every cell in your body!  The quality and choices you make have a direct and lasting impact on your health, energy and vitality!

Yet, few people actually understand about food at the basic level or know how to properly shop for the nutrients they rely on to fuel their body.  Here’s a little tip for you…Just because it says “low fat”, “sugar-free”, “low carb”, has the “health check” symbol, is endorsed by the heart & stroke, diabetes, or some other foundation, doesn’t mean it’s healthy or the best thing for you to buy.

At FRESH! we deal with people every day who struggle with excess body fat, lack of motivation, and have little knowledge on what they need to do to get healthy, fit, and feel great.  Learning about nutrition and how to shop for food effectively is the foundation of making positive changes in your life.
