Supermarket Tour

CHECKOUT THE AISLES

The World Health Organization recognizes the role that good nutrition plays in preventing nutrition-related chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, among others. Nutrition education at the point of purchase can increase consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Educate your community about how to purchase healthier foods by holding a tour of your local supermarket.
Enlist registered nutritionists and dieticians to show community members how to purchase and create healthy eating options.
Place signs in the supermarket with the Mayors Wellness Campaign logo to highlight the various healthy eating options that are featured in the store.

BE THE FIRST!

Tell the Mayors Wellness Campaign what you did so we can spotlight your work here!

Set a date for the supermarket tour. Consider hosting a cooking demonstration during the supermarket tour so residents can learn about healthy cooking at the same time.
You might choose a one-time event or host events monthly at the same or different locations.

Spread the word through flyers, emails, and social media.
Partner with local business to attract people to the supermarket tour.
Promote the nutritionist and dieticians and offer healthy recipes or food samples.
Consider creating healthy shopping lists to hand out to participants, and having the mayor lead the tour alongside a local dietician.
