Mahsa Jafari<\/strong>, a dietitian at Teladoc Health, explains what she thinks should be on your shopping list independent of where you are located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Health is the foundation for everything you want to achieve. I get a lot of energy from helping people strengthen that foundation,” she explains. She believes it is important to educate people about what they eat and how they can improve their diet without it feeling like a strict regime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fruit and vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When grocery shopping, Mahsa recommends always adding seasonal fruit and vegetables <\/strong>to your basket. This is beneficial for your health, wallet and the environment. Seasonal produce contains different nutrients, encouraging a more varied diet and thus contributing to a healthier body. “By eating with the seasons, you get a variety of vitamins and minerals, and you choose products that are less harmful to the environment” says Mahsa. She advises looking for as much variety as possible in your fruit and vegetables. Her favourite fruit is the kiwi. “It’s full of vitamin C, aids digestion and can even help you sleep better. You only need one or two kiwis a day to get your recommended daily intake of vitamin C,” she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to vegetables, Mahsa clearly prefers dark green leafy vegetables<\/strong> such as kale and spinach. These vegetables are high in magnesium, which is beneficial for muscles and other bodily functions. She recommends eating these vegetables regularly, as they contribute significantly to overall health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mahsa also stresses the importance of fibre<\/strong> in bread, pasta and rice. “Wholegrain products, such as wholemeal bread, pasta and crackers, are much better for your health than white varieties. They are packed with fibre, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling full for longer,” she says. Other high-fibre foods, such as oatmeal, flaxseed and psyllium fibre, can also be valuable additions to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
