Eating healthy
may take more than just reading the food label. It's easy for food labels
to fool you if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. The
packaging and the wording are precisely constructed. Here’s an
example. If you're walking through the bread aisle and you see wording on
a label such as "heart healthy" or "100% whole
wheat," it might be correct, but do yourself a favor...turn to the
back and read the ingredients. Reading the ingredients is more important
than reading the label. If you read the ingredients, not just the label,
you will find you will be making better choices. This is certainly an art
that you have to develop over time. Try to understand what you're doing,
take your time, and do it slowly. It will make a big difference.
