The key to a healthy lifestyle is a healthy shopping list, free of junks. I know it can be so tempting to buy all the yummies and sugary food but it happens to most people, if not everyone, I am always tempted whenever I go shopping) but it is more beneficial to eat a balanced diet. 

Today, I'll be sharing 11 main food you should add to your shopping list when shopping next time to become healthy or to lose weight, whatever your goals are. 

It is also important to drink enough water to stay hydrated and healthy and try your best to stay away from sodas and sugary drinks. Go for fruit based juice or make a smoothie or can even get a juicing machine or make fruit juice by hand. Be local, be old, be healthy, deal with nature.
