Fill up on fresh produce

The first tip when shopping is that most of your trolley should be filled with foods that don’t carry a label. That’s right – fresh fruit and vegetables. While we know they are good for us, most of us don’t eat enough. In fact, the 2017-2018 Australian Health Survey found only 5.4 per cent of adults are eating the recommended daily servings of both fruit and vegetables. Adults should be aiming to consume five serves of vegetables and two serves of fruit each day. So, try to ensure these make up the bulk of your shopping basket and you’ll have less labels to read!
