Clean eating focuses on the quality and type of food you eat – consuming a variety of whole foods and avoiding processed foods containing trans fats , preservatives , color additives , refined grains , and added sugars . How do you navigate the clean eating options available to you ? Use these tips below :
Genetically modified ( GMO ) vs . non-GMO – GMOs are living organisms that have been altered in some way , with growing evidence linking them to health problems . A Non- GMO label ensures that the product does not contain GMOs .

TARGETED CUSTOMERS

Locally sourced vs . organic – Organic foods are grown using environmentally friendly agricultural methods and renewable resources , meeting the standards verified by the USDA . Any animal products you buy , such as organic meat , poultry , eggs and dairy products , will be hormone and antibiotic free . Organic vegetables will be free of harmful pesticides and fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or bioengineering . Locally sourced organic options are even better , allowing you to ask farmers directly about their practices .
Best advice ? It ’ s best to buy locally sourced organic food whenever possible , but when that ’ s not , stick to organic .

Wild vs . farm-raised – Wild fish are caught in the wild and feed on a natural diet , but are often higher in mercury , and some fishing methods can harm the ocean habitat . Farm-raised may have more contamination from toxic chemicals and are prone to higher rates of bacteria and pesticides from crowded conditions . Yet conditions for farmed fish are improving , with some being sustainably farmed .
Best advice ? Make your decision based on the type of fish you are purchasing . Your local fishmonger will be able to provide you with valuable insights .
