Shopping for Health: Dr. Jiwani’s Naturopathic Grocery List

Mindful Food Shopping

Shopping can seem like a challenge when you’re seeking health. Mindful shopping for health starts with knowledge & planning. Dr. Jiwani’s Naturopathic Grocery List is here to help you navigate the supermarket in a mindful way, whether you have Food Allergies or are just trying to eat healthier.

Shunning Sugar

Even avoiding sugar is a great start to your health journey, given its many damaging effects. Just be conscious of not substituting sugar with artificial sweeteners. For healthy sweet alternatives, read The Bitter & Sweet of Sugar Substitutes.

Baby Steps

Whether you’re tired a lot, bloated, craving, suffering from Celiac or another Autoimmune Disease, small changes in your health & lifestyle can make a big difference. For the severely symptomatic, proper investigation can help you achieve true health, rather than a version of suppressed symptoms. A great place to start is to see a licensed Naturopathic Physician. Often, health analyses may include testing for Food Allergies.

Food: Friend or Foe?

Most people think that Food Allergies have a sudden, throat-closing effect. Actually, 80-90% of allergic reactions in the body are not immediate. In fact, almost 33% of the industrialized world suffers from Allergies. 

Flourishing Food Allergies

Food Allergies have been self-reported by 2.5 million Canadians & 15 million Americans. Research reviews have highlighted this alarming prevalence of food allergies in 15-20% of babies (Ho et al. 2014). This makes Food Allergies a growing concern in our healthcare system, as they are quickly undermining our health.

Shopping with Food Allergies

Ignorance is not bliss! Yet knowing your food allergies and avoiding your food allergies can be two different things. The key is to focus on what you CAN eat, a more optimistic viewpoint. You can use this list and cross out items you are allergic to. Aim to be systematic in your approach, to avoid feeling overwhelmed & discouraged. Take it one step at a time. You should plan to spend a few hours on your first allergy-free grocery run.

Navigating Food Labels

Now more than ever, the food industry has many allergy-friendly options available. It is important to read labels to make sure you are avoiding your specific allergens and dangerous food additives. The less ingredients in a label the better.

Gluten-Free Gluttony

Remember, going gluten-free doesn’t necessarily mean health & weight loss. In fact, new research reveals that High Carb, Low Fat Diets are Linked to Early Death. Your body cannot tell whether its glucose (sugar) comes from fruit, bread, rice or pasta, gluten or none.

Carbs Make You Fat

Nutrients aside, a carb is a carb, and breaks down into glucose for energy. This is why a gluten-free diet can make you fat. It’s the cause & effect of consuming too many carbohydrates in any form. Research shows a dangerous connection between Cancer, Belly Fat & Weight Gain.

Try Not To Drink Your Carbs!

Even fruit juice is also a health & weight threat, potentially more damaging than soda. Facts reveal both beverages are dangerous for your health. “Fruit nectar, fruit drinks, fruit beverages & fruit cocktails” are code for corn syrup, water & flavouring. Even “healthier” juices claiming complete purity & “not from concentrate” may contain unlisted additives & re-added flavour.

Shopping for Organic

Try for Organic & Non-GMO products when possible to avoid pesticides and minimize your chemical exposure. Also, check out Toxic Fruits & Veggies Pesticides 2018:  Levels of Pesticides & When to Buy Organic.

Coffee & Caffeine

If you are going to purchase Coffee at the supermarket, opt for Organic as non-organic Coffee is one of the most chemically sprayed crops. You should also assess whether Coffee & Caffeine are ideal for your health goals, by reading Confused about Coffee? The Good, Bad & Ugly about Caffeine & this BitterSweet Beverage.

Pull the Plug on Plastic

It is imperative when you’re shopping to avoid sources of plastic. Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in plastic packaging, aluminum beverage & canned goods, alcohol & soda containers, baby bottles. Phthalates, another plastic chemical, are even worse than BPA as they off-gas easily increasing air & skin exposure.

Shopping for Glass

PET are Phthalates in disguise. Unfortunately, PET is still commonly found in clear plastic bottles for soda, sports drinks, condiments, cosmetic & fragranced products. You need to be conscientious to avoid toxicity in our plastic-ridden world.

Plastic-Free Shopping

Stick with cloth bags, glass containers & DEP-free, Phthalate-free & fragrance-free products. Recycle for your health & the health of our environment. Read more at Death By Plastic: The Toxic Truth About The Chemicals We Eat & Drink.
