Chronic diseases of affluence, which include heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers are the top causes of death in the US. Furthermore they negatively impact the quality of life for millions of people and they are the cause of over 75% of the expenses for medicare. They can be prevented and even treated with a better diet and lifestyle. The first step in helping individuals learn to eat better is to learn to shop better. The nutrition facts panel is on the back of many foods but most shoppers do not know how to read it quickly or what any of the terms on the label mean. This handout is as easy as one two three to teach everyone how to read a label. Better still it has a healthy shopping list so they know WHAT to put in their shopping cart!
