How to shop healthy at a health food store

Leading a healthy and natural lifestyle includes regular physical activity and smart food choices. Here are some tips to help you choose your food wisely from a health shop:

• Buy whole, natural and unprocessed or minimally processed foods. For example, go for organic fruits and vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, beans and healthy cooking oils.
• Consult a health expert before purchasing vitamin or protein supplements and for the right dosage. Even safe health supplements can cause problems if they are taken in excess.
• Check the date. A “use by” date shows the date by which a product should be consumed, while a “best before” date indicates the until which the food will remain at its best quality.
