Health tip VI: Do the shopping!

If you're living on your own I'm sure you've already had the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of doing the shopping. If you're living at home, maybe your parents do it for you, maybe they don't. Anway, if you're really set on having a healthier diet, going to the supermarket yourself should become one of your first goals. If you go with some friends you can even have fun (I talk from personal experience; going to the supermarket with my flatmate is a fucking show!)

Why is it important?

• You actually choose what you are going to eat; vegetables, fruit, even pasta or canned food.
• You don't buy what you don't want to eat (for example, my mum is set on buying crisps, which is a total no-go if you're trying to keep a healthy diet).
• You can compare prices and save a huge amount of money.
• You can buy products according to their low fat/calories.
• You can give your parents a very much deserved rest (!!!)

I admit that going to the supermarket if you don't own a car sucks quite a bit. However, you can take it as a form of exercise as well! Trust me, carrying bags up and down helps to build up some awesome biceps.
