Every March, we celebrate National Nutrition Month® (www.eatright.org), a nutrition education and information campaign created by the American Dietetic Association. The campaign focuses on helping people make informed food choices and practice healthy lifestyle habits. This is a great time for us to rethink our own eating habits and find ways to improve them.

One way in which we can improve our health is to learn how to make informed, nutritious choices at the supermarket. With the thousands of foods on our grocery store shelves, it can be extremely overwhelming to even enter a grocery store, let alone decide what to purchase. There are simple strategies that you can use to become a more enlightened shopper.
