Pantry-stocking 101

Katherine Brooking, a Registered Dietitian contributing to the Huffington Post, suggests that a strategically stocked pantry can help control weight and improve health. Citing research published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health that highlights the importance of at-home eating in maintaining health, Brooking says that having the right items on hand makes it easier to make meals at home. Among those pantry items is canola oil—a personal favourite of Brooking, given its light, neutral flavour and low saturated-fat content.
