How to make healthier food choices

Do not be deceived by fruit-flavored products. Before you buy those fruity popsicles or candies, make sure that you are getting real fruit. Fruit-flavored products may not contain any fruit at all; check the ingredients. The term “fruit-flavored” on the product is generally a red flag; the product has been made with the flavors of fruit (which have no nutritional value) and added sugar. Drinking real fruit juice is much better than drinking a fruit-flavored beverage with only ten percent juice.
