Angie Kalousek Ebrahimi, Senior Director, Clinical Strategy and Programs at Blue Shield of California, breaks down how to decode food labels like a pro. In this quick-read article, Angie shares simple, empowering tips to help you decode food labels, make healthier choices, and shop with confidence.
- Favor whole, minimally processed food. Focus on items like fruits, vegetables, legumes, eggs, nuts, and whole grains.
- Seek balanced nutrition, not empty carbs. Look for foods that contain protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and go easy on added sugars and refined carbs.
- Read ingredient labels to spot additives. Don’t be misled by “natural” or “low-fat” labels. Watch for hidden sugars, high sodium, trans fats, preservatives, and refined grains.
Small shifts at the grocery store can lead to big wins for your health.
