More conscious shopping leads to increased health

Though more and more people shop in an environment-conscious way, many still don not know, how much we can improve the Earth's and our own health by carefully choosing our diet. Let us share some useful points.

It is best to create a list before bigger shopping trips, because planning is key in mindful shopping. This helps avoiding impulse shopping and purchasing unnecessary groceries that would only end up in the trash. Make sure to shop on a full stomach! Hunger prompts you to pile up more food than you actually need. You can also help the environment by cutting back on plastic bags and bringing your own. Butlers offers a wide range of stylish and practical shopping accessories! When it comes to eating, choose the products with sooner expiration dates to avoid wasting. Do not be afraid of the taste, you will not feel any difference!

SPAR is actively spreading awareness among grocery chains to protect our Earth. They are applying more and more eco-friendly solutions, even involving their customers. Spar does a lot to protect the environment with its quality and seasonal products, too.

Another way to combat food-waste can be eating seasonal fruits and vegetables. These are the ones that boost our immune system and help us stay healthy the most anyway. They are not only delicious but also contain essential vitamins. Grapes, nuts and apples are perfectly suitable for replacing unhealthy snacks. Apple is an excellent ingredient for special pies and cheesecakes, too! Healthy snacks are high in Vitamin C, A and B, and they also contain folic acid, calcium and magnesium!

Autumn is a great time to try new side dishes as well: beetroot accompanies meaty dishes perfectly and is excellent both chopped or pureed with great detoxification and fat burning properties!

You can create amazing cream soups out of celery and foals, but they can also be tasty alternatives for mashed potato! Do not forget about the different mushrooms either, they are amazing ingredients of sauces and soups, or even a special pesto.
