Healthful Food Choices

Researchers believe that close to 50 percent of cancers, and cardiovascular problems are preventable by making the right lifestyle choices. That includes choosing healthier foods.

London Drugs is now offering high quality foods that will help you in your quest for better health. The next time you visit one of our stores, be sure to check out our comprehensive selection of organic and other select food products.

Cereals and Crackers

Whole grains such as spelt and kamut, and the bran from oats and wheat help to keep your arteries healthy, your digestive system running properly, and your mind active. These complex carbohydrates also help satisfy your “carb-cravings” without raising your glycemic levels to a high degree.

For a tasty breakfast that is good for you, try Kashi* GoLean* and Kashi* GoLean Crunch* cereals. These fibre-rich formulations not only contain healthful grains, but also 13 g and 16.25 g respectively of protein to help you feel full and fuel your muscles. Also available are fat-free Kashi* Organic Flakes & Berries, and sodium-free Kashi* 7 Wholegrain Honey Puffed Cereal.

If you love the chewy crunch of granola, you may want to try Nature’s Path granola products, including Organic Pumpkin Flax Plus Granola, rich in omega 3 and 6 fatty-acids. Nature’s Path Flax ‘N Oats Hot Oatmeal and Hot Cereal Variety Pack provide warm nourishment, and are especially tasty when sprinkled with organic California raisins from Newman’s Own®. These cereal products contain no synthetic preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours, hydrogenated oils or emulsifiers.

Kelloggs* All-bran* cereals including All-bran* Buds with Psyllium are available in the cereal section.

In our stores, you will also find a wide array of healthy crackers, including Mary’s Gourmet Crackers® which are 100 percent whole grain and wheat/gluten-free. Flavours include Original and Caraway Cumin.

Veggies, Legumes and Oils

Legumes such as beans and peanuts not only provide your body with protein and fibre, but also contain protease inhibitors - substances that have been shown to interfere with the development of cancers. The soluble fibre in beans and the monounsaturated oils in peanut butter are also hearthealthy. If you are increasing your intake of beans or peanuts, you will want to make sure they are organic, to reduce your exposure to pesticides. Eden® Baked Beans and Maranatha® Peanut Butter (smooth and crunchy) are both organic products.

Tomatoes are well-recognized for their role in helping to prevent cancers of the prostate and breast. You will find a full range of Tree of Life™ organic tomato products in the food aisles, as well as healthy oils such as Borges® Grapeseed oil.

Healthier Snacking

Every now and then, you’ll want to indulge a little, especially if it’s chocolate! As well as healthier chocolate bars of 70 percent cocoa content and higher, we carry a wide range of cookies for the healthconscious including Nature’s Path Organic Signature Series Cookies in Deep Chocolate and Country Choice™ Organic Sandwich Cremes in chocolate and vanilla. You’ll also find a variety of Kettle® brand organic chips and Barbara’s Bakery® Cheese Puffs and White Cheddar Bakes.

Organic and Natural Coffees and Teas

Rich sources of antioxidants.

Coffee and tea are among the richest sources of antioxidant substances. Whether you choose regular or caffeine-free, your immune system will receive a healthy boost from the phyto-chemicals present in these two beverages. A ten-year study of more than 90,000 people in Japan suggests that people who drink one to four cups of coffee daily significantly reduce their risk of developing a common type of liver cancer.

Seattle’s Best™ organic coffees and Celestial Seasonings® organic teas (black, green, white and herbal) are now available from London Drugs.
