Tip Of The Week: Understanding Food Labels

Are you ready to try a more natural, whole food diet, but not quite sure how to start? Start by reading nutrition labels! One easy way to get started, is by looking at the list of ingredients. If the list is extremely long and filled with ingredients too complicated to understand, look for a more natural alternative. Ingredients are listed in order of quantity within the product. If sugar is the first ingredient listed, that means that sugar is a big component of that item. Look for items with fewer ingredients, including items that can be easily pronounced and understood!
