4. Learn the lingo
“Whole grain” means the grains used haven’t been stripped of their nutrients. “Multigrain” just means that multiple grains were used, but it says nothing of the level of refinement. Remember this when you're starting your day with a slice of toast.
5. Fewer ingredients means healthier food
You already read labels, of course, but unless you're the Stephen Hawking of foodstuffs, you'll find them pretty darn confusing. So when you must choose between two products and you’re stumped, just pick the one with the shorter list of ingredients. It’s almost always the right choice.

In general, the healthiest food in the supermarket is found along the walls. The dairy case, produce, and meats and seafood are all found in the outlying regions of the market, while the inner aisles tend to be dominated by things that come in boxes, bags, or cans. Most of this vast nutritional dead zone is composed of highly processed foods--and the less time you spend in there, the better.
