According to Olli, superfoods and supplements are not even necessary, but minimising e-codes is. He is helping regular people to identify nutritionally rich and healing foods in the supermarket and helps them to be more aware while doing their groceries.

“Use your senses to find out how you choose specific products. Ask yourself whether the colours and flavourings are coming from additives or from the food itself? Read the labels and ingredients carefully. If you can’t pronounce it, you probably don’t need it”, says Posti.

Olli advises to avoid products with with hidden sugars. Instead you may choose similar products with no added sugar and sweeteners, for example instead of taking ready-made blueberry soup or berry jam, take frozen berries and honey. It is also a good idea to know what is in season right now . Some supermarkets put seasonal vegetables and fruits in front of entrance to ease customers choice.

When choosing milk products, quality is the key. More expensive products tend to have better quality. Opt in for goat, lamb and buffalo milk products. They have more nutrients inside and are easier for your body to process. Olli recommends to try out some unpasteurized raw Swiss cheeses. For the ice cream fans he recommends to try organic high quality brands with less white sugar and more natural flavors. Candies can be replaced with sulfur dioxide free and organic dried fruits or berries.

When it comes to soft drinks, Olli recommends to find drinks that really take your thirst away. Supermarket shelves are filled with sodas and bottled waters with artificial flavors & color agents, juices with added sugar, and unhealthy energy drinks. Try some cocoa water or ready-made smoothie instead. Some grocery stores have fresh juices and smoothie bars where you can fill your cup with fresh stuff.
