There is no person in the world who would not want to live long, fully, richly, remaining in excellent physical shape. The fulfillment of the desire to lead a healthy lifestyle begins with the organization of proper nutrition. And this does not mean exhausting endless diets that lead to stress and depression. Food should consist of healthy, fresh natural products. At the same time, it is desirable to maintain a balance between the number of calories and the expended energy. The lifestyle does not allow spending a lot of time cooking healthy food at home, the townspeople buy ready-made meals. We offer an overview of the best health food stores in Moscow, according to buyers, in 2020.

How to choose a health food store

The list of stores and health food cafes in the capital is huge. We offer real organic products and ready-made menus for healthy lifestyle supporters, athletes, losing weight, vegetarians, vegans. Consider what is appropriate to pay attention to in order to avoid mistakes when choosing.

Healthy eating principles

Based on cultural traditions and food habits, the following principles are distinguished:

1. The predominance of plant foods in the diet.
2. Daily consumption of at least 400 g of local vegetables and fruits.
3. Eating bread, cereals, pasta, potatoes daily. This is required to obtain protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals.
4. When formulating a diet, reliance on body mass index to prevent overweight and related diseases.
5. Replacing animal fats with unsaturated fatty acids found in seafood, vegetable oils, lean meat (turkey, rabbit).
6. Eliminate completely fat-free dairy products for people with calcium deficiencies.
7. Limiting the consumption of sugar, fast carbohydrates: sugary drinks, confectionery, desserts.
8. Moderate salt intake (no more than a teaspoon per day).
9. Microwave, steaming, baking, boiling are the best cooking methods.

What are organic products

Organic food groups include:

• without harmful substances - flavors, dyes, stabilizers, preservatives);
• without GMO, derivatives;
• manufactured without harmful technologies (ultrasonic, radiation treatment, fission of atoms);
• made from raw materials grown in ecologically safe regions;
• do not contain raw materials obtained as a result of treatment with pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, growth hormones.

Criterias of choice

Criterias of choice:

• safety;
• suppliers;
• range;
• service;
• prices;
• reviews.

Safety. A store of healthy products must meet the health safety requirements of customers:

• sale of high-quality (fresh, healthy) products and ready-made meals;
• compliance with all sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations;
• availability of certificates confirming documents for all goods;
• accompanying each product with a price tag, a plate with characteristics, notes about the benefits and contraindications);
• range approved by doctors and nutritionists;
• separation of goods for different categories of buyers (vegetarians, diabetics, children).

Suppliers. Food is a group of goods with limited sales dates, so it is important to choose good suppliers. For this, the store management organizes acquaintance with farmers, visits to farms, analyzes the stages and technologies of raw materials production. Farming complexes In the Moscow region, located near industrial facilities are not considered. The best manufacturers of useful products comply with the shortest delivery time and supply goods that meet environmental control standards with the necessary laboratory analyzes and additional expertise.

Range. When choosing a health food store, it is important to be sure that the products you need are available:

• for weight loss and keeping fit;
• for small children;
• for allergy sufferers (foods that do not contain an allergen, such as gluten, sugar);
• for vegans (excluding animal products and their derivatives);
• for vegetarians (excluding meat products);
• for athletes by sports (proteins for weightlifters, slow carbohydrates for strength training, polyunsaturated fatty acids for yogis).

Service. The level of service provided by the service must be attractive to buyers. (delivery, booking, online store).

Price. The buyer does not want to overpay, so the best stores use tricks to lower the average price:

• the possibility of combining several positions by personnel;
• rental of premises that do not require major repairs in the near future;
• purchase of used commercial equipment made of quality materials with preserved appearance and technical characteristics.

Separately, I would like to note such a technique as the opening of two types of online stores of healthy food:

1. with the storage of goods in the warehouse of the store;
2. with delivery from the manufacturer to the end consumer.

The popularity is due to the significant decline in retail prices. The only investment in this case is in the official website:

• technical support;
• regular updating of information;
• placement of interesting photos.

It is categorically unacceptable to save on the level of service, cleanliness of premises, quality of products. Even inexpensive goods in this case will not be in demand.
Thanks to a competent leader, a well-thought-out organization strategy, even in the most popular establishments, you can find quality products at budget prices.

Reviews. Customer reviews will help you determine which one is better to choose a health food store from the huge list presented in Moscow and Moscow region. They contain a description of the features of service, quality of products, level of service. It is advisable to take into account the recommendations of friends, remembering that word of mouth is the most effective form of advertising.
