It's no ordinary shop though, you'll find locally-baked bread, ready meals, spices, rices, pulses and fresh local veg. They also have 'healing rooms' where various types of practitioners can give you therapies and alternative treatments. They also supply wholesale foods. They're not some new, trendy company, they've been slogging away since I was a kid in the seventies. Good luck to them and well done for surviving so long!

Their humous and breads are well worth a try. A bit pricier than the supermarket but worth it if you can afford it as the food is much tastier and you feel as though it might actually be doing you some good. The interior of the shop is very pretty but can often get crowded especially at the weekends. Rory McGrath shops here too!

This place is great. Whatever you may need, be it protein bars, herbal teas, raw nuts, or…read moresupplements, they have it. Occasionally they'll roll out an amazing sale like 2 for 1 or 50% off, so you can really get a stellar deal now and again. But truth be told, at full price it's still pretty fair.

It's like Whole Foods! With the price tag to match!…read more You know how they refer to Whole Foods affectionately as 'Whole Paycheck?' Well, similarly -- As Nature Intended (me to be broke). I suppose. This mini-chain is very similar to my favored "The Grocery" up on Kingsland Road but I just so happen to be down by Spitalfields often enough that I've popped in to this market a few times for the (not-so) essentials. Let's face it, it's a bleak state of affairs down Commercial Street at Tesco Local. I can't even bring myself to go in there. The amount of plastic wrapping and pre-packaged foods just makes me want to barf, no joke. I just can't most of the time, I'd rather go anywhere else. So yes, while As Nature Intended is a bit pricier -- it's also a LOT nicer, has WAY better food things in it and if I want to pay 100 quid for a bag of (basically) snacks, so it shall be done. Sometimes one just wants to feel wholesome, right? Yes. Of particular interest here is their health and beauty section -- well stocked and comprehensive. They carry REN, which I adore and also full range of Wedela which I buy often for the little person in our house. The soups are great, and they have CO-YO (coconut milk yogurt) which is my favorite thing of 2015 thus far. Staff is friendly. You'll be broke but you'll be happy. Good organic food stuffs up in here.

I LOVE this shop it is probably my favourite on earth and as they say outside their shop "Wealth is…read morewell and truly health". It is fully stocked with healthy foods and goodies to help you get through the week and help you to feel like an amazing human being. To add the staff are super friendly and delightful whenever I visit, always displaying a smile on their face and asking if any help is required (it is always the small gestures that count). I can literally spend near to an hour browsing the nut butters, chocolate aisle and fruit pantry, and last but not least - they even provide a sink for you to wash your fruit and veg if you wish to consume it straight away. Also, if you are lucky you may be greeted with a sample of peanut butter or other tasty snack to help you through your shop. If you're a true foodie and health and fitness fiend like me, you'll fall in love with this place!

I've always liked Holland and Barrett. My mum used to shop there when I was a kid, buying stuff…read morelike rye bread (yuk) and cod liver oil tablets (yuk). When I was a teenager I really started getting into herbal tea and Holland and Barrett was one of the only places where I lived where you could buy it. Fast forward ten years and I am still shopping at Holland and Barrett, but now in Brighton and Hove. It still sells all the same stuff as it did years ago, although their stock ha expanded greatly as I guess more and more people have become health conscious over the years. It's a great place to get food if you're a vegan, vegetarian or have any specific dietary requirements (coeliac etc). I often get supplements from here too, and they often have their famous penny sale (buy one item, get another for a penny). It's also a handy place for buying items like almond/coconut flour, dried fruit and herbal sweets.

I stocked up on snacks for a picnic in London fields and found everything I needed, except booze. Great choice of olives and antipasti, organic houmous, sourdough breadsticks.

This one's nice…read more Hello. I am a foodie. And pretty critical foodie at that. So, I walk in sceptical. But leave pleasantly suprised. For me, Broadway Market is ridiculously OTT and too trendy for it's own good. It'd be so easy to go minimalist. Bags of organic oats at £8 a pop, Aduki beans for little Casper or Konrad. HHmm, you get my thinking? But instead, it's a straight up and honest venture. Quite a small premises so their shelves are absolutely stacked. Good range of fruit, nice veg in and all the other trimmings. Pastes, spread, conserves. And little touches, which make you want to come back. They do refils of cleaning product to help everyone stay eco. Things like that. And the guys hanging out were really nice, so yeah, all in all, I really liked what they'd done here. Thanks!

The owner is super friendly, the lemons, the avocados, the plums, everything is such high quality (and inexpensive) that it's gonna be hard for me to shop anywhere else from now on (especially 'cause it's just by my house). I loved the banana soy yogurt by Sojade (a french brand I didn't know 'till then) and I can assure that, despite of the size of the store (it's a small shop though the owner is planning to move to a bigger place, he said), they have pretty much everything, well organized and even if it weren't, the owner will do everything to help you. Recommend. :)

The selection nuts and the flavours are indescribable! Chilli, mexican, honey, salted, roasted! The list is endless.

Exceedingly bad for you but brilliant for a dinner party dessert or a treat when you've done something extra good!

The dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts are my favourites! Mmmmm! It's actually quite a small stall considering the large range they have on offer and can only really accomodate 2-4 people at any one time. Basically you pick up a paper bag and make your selection using the scoops, (keeping same prices nuts and berries in the same bag) and then the bag(s) get weighed and you are charged accordingly. Perfect for a snack for your journey or slightly more healthy sugar rush if you're passing through.

Basically this health shop wins hands down to stores such as Julian Graves and Holland & Barret, which are in walking distance on Sevenoaks High Street. This independent store has professionals and practitioners and the like to dish out advise plus they have regular talks on health issues ( do check their website for further details etcI am actually thinking of attending, as they seem worth while. They stock far more products than the bigger names and there is more than enough staff to be your personal assistant. I heard about this store from my nan who is a big believer in alternative treatment, as are we all. I thought I was allergic to yeast, which means beer and bread and the like but turns out, I need to lay out the Dairy and other foods that don't agree with me. Being a student meant indulging in cheaper foods and a complete shift in lifestyle, and it was showing through my eyes. This is where Peter Colins the Great got his handy allergy testing machine to find the root of my problem. It is all done through a pressing motion to side of a pressure point in the finger. All electronics no need to draw blood. It detects your energy and energy of different allergy sources and sees what is and isn't compatible. It only costs £55, and he recommends different medications and alternative foods. I will be on this detox for 2 monthsi will let you all know my progress. But from my nans experience and her friends this allergy tests seems to solve most problems, could probably solve world peace X 'Take snow for instance, if you look closer each snow flake is different, each individual is different' This is where docs go wrong, for treating a group instead of looking deeper into the individual I hope this helps : )
