Simple efforts put together end up showing impressive, cumulative results.

Simple changes in lifestyle or changes in the WAY you make food choices can in the end have favorable and long lasting health benefits.

Our 1^st Health Strategy for this year was to start thinking about food and think before you eat it, every time.

Our 2^nd Health Strategy is also going to be as simple and can be put into use effortlessly.

START READING YOUR FOOD LABELS…..

This is a very important strategy and will go a long way in the making us aware about the food that we are eating. This in turn will also help us to stick to our 1^st Strategy because you would have thought about foods, its ingredients and its benefits at the time of shopping itself.

1. Always Read Food Labels.

2. Look Out for Specific foods which may be harmful to your condition.

3. Try and find out Synonyms which mean similar or the same thing but is disguised in the food label. Eg : Sugar / Honey / Maple Syrup / Corn Syrup / Glucose / Fructose are all substitutes of each other and will make the food sweet & high calorie.

4. Beware of Marketing Gimmicks which will mislead you!! {eg Food items of vegetable origin saying “Cholesterol free”.}

5. Avoid buying food if you are uncertain of its ingredients.

6. Wrong advertising & promotions can put you in a Health Crisis.

REMEMBER ,

Reading a food label and getting into habit of reading it is the first step in achieving your health goals.
