LivFit: Becoming a better grocery shopper

1. As a general rule of thumb, shop the perimeter — not the aisles. The aisles are a trap for pre-packaged foods, ingredients you can’t pronounce, man-made junk and nutrition without a shelf life (weird, you’re eating something that never goes bad. Seems legit? No.) Try to avoid the aisles. Obviously you can’t do this for everything, but the majority of foods should come from the perimeter of the store which is the food preserved by a fridge, cooler or freezer.
