Look for information on retailers of health food and products under this Yellow™ heading. The term health food refers to specific foods that claim to be beneficial to health. Not the same as an overall healthy diet, these specific foods and products have been proven to have direct effects on health. Some examples of health foods are alfalfa sprouts, wheat germ, and yoghurt. Whey protein and Aloe vera can be considered examples of health food products. Most of these items, due to an increase in popularity and health consciousness, are now available at most retail supermarkets. Specialty health stores are also found across the country stocking lesser known products.
Health food and products tend to go through cycles of popularity and are often considered eating fads. However, proving sceptics wrong, several benefits of health food have been proven over time. Most health food stores offer a complete range of grocery and food items. Along with these, advice and guidelines on improving your health through a better diet can also be found at such stores.
Specialty health food stores can cater to special food items and products for diabetics, coeliacs (gluten free), vegetarians, vegans, allergy sufferers, high protein and low carbohydrate diets. Most stores specialise in stock that is organic i.e. grown in ways that protest wildlife and the environment. Use of preservative and contaminants are not allowed. Local produce is also promoted such as local raw honey, free-range eggs, local cheese, etc. Health drinks and vitamin supplements also add to the inventory.
