    Grocery store secret: Shop the perimeter

    Picture your favorite grocery store. Chances are that the outer aisles are where you'll find fresh produce, low-fat dairy products and lean meats. This is where you should concentrate most of your shopping time. Why? Fresh foods are generally healthier than are ready-to-eat foods.

    Don't grocery shop on an empty stomach

    Butter or margarine: Which is healthier?

    Margarine often beats butter when it comes to heart health. Margarine is made from a blend of oils that are mostly unsaturated fat.

The more solid the margarine the more saturated fat it has. Look for a spread with the lowest amounts of saturated fat and salt that tastes good to you.
