One easy way to plan healthy menus is to shop only in the outer aisles of the grocery store. In most supermarkets, fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, fresh meat, and frozen foods are in the outer aisles.Grains, like pasta, rice, bread, and cereal, are located on the next aisles, the first inner rows. The inside aisles are where you’ll find chips and snacks, cookies and pastries, soda pop and drink mixes—foods that nutritionists say one should eat rarely, if at all. A side benefit of shopping this way is that grocery shopping takes less time.
