MCHS-Springfield Dietitian provides guidance in grocery store aisles about selections to make for better health

Oh, the wonders of the modern grocery store! We are given more choices than ever before. As a consumer, we want to make wise choices about the food we eat.

Obviously, the more we eat natural, whole foods — lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains, and low fat dairy — the better it is for our health.  But if a portion of your diet consists of something out of a box, bag or can, you should read the ingredient label and find out what you’re really ingesting.
