Nutrition Quick Tip

Next time you go shopping (probably in the New Year when junk food and alcohol isn't so commonplace) try buying all your items from around the outside of the supermarket. Notice that the outside walls of the supermarket are generally refrigerated and/or nearby the fruit and veg section. Fresh is always best so avoid pre-packaged foods from the centre shelves of the supermarket. These foods are essentially highly processed and therefore lack nutrients, and are basically just empty calories with no nutritional benefits. Buy wholegrain breads, fruit and veg, lean meats, eggs and dairy.
