Heart Healthy Deliveries
Bringing the grocery store to you!
With obesity on the raise in North America, it’s no wonder that Americans are demanding more heart healthy food choices from their favorite restaurants and take out services.
The reality is that 1 in 5 Americans eat out or order food delivery for every meal. The temptation of going to a restaurant and avoiding high-fat, low-nutrition foods can be too much for many! That’s why the typical American who wants to lose weight is turning to grocery delivery. It’s fast, affordable, and still offers the control of preparing foods in your own kitchen. Let’s face it, you never know what a restaurant is putting in that seemingly healthy stir fry. It could very well be slathered with calories, trans fats, sugar, and sodium.
However, healthy eating takes time. That’s why millions of North Americans are finding solace in grocery delivery services. This way they can choose from a store-sized menu of their favorite low fat, low-carb and organic foods. That doesn’t mean that thou shalt not enter a McDonald’s drive thru ever again – it just means that you will be less inclined do it every day. Balance is the key to healthy living, after all. You just need to learn how to make healthier choices when it comes to ordering food for delivery or dining out.
The pressure for thinner waistlines by doctors has had consumers demanding more heart friendly options from their favorite dining establishments. We are starting to see a rise in the “Heart Smart” or “Light” menus from restaurants like Applebee’s, Subway, Quiznos and even McDonalds. However, ordering foods for delivery from your grocer is always the healthiest bet.
Tips for ordering heart smart grocery delivery:
- Order a variety of fresh fruits, lean protein sources, whole grains and veggies each day. The more variety there is in your diet; the easier it will be for you to get all your essential daily nutrients.
- If you’re truly strapped for time, you can still order from your grocer. Have frozen entrees delivered to your door. Or opt for a pre-made salad, deli wrap or fresh sushi – available through larger grocery chains.
- Make sure your order includes a lot of fresh fruit and veggies – apples, pears, peppers, carrots – these make quick, compact snacks that you can tote easily to the office and gym, plus a sweet piece of fruit will often stop a dessert craving in its wake.
You can also order heart healthy organic grocery delivery.
