5 Food Swaps To Get You Eating Healthier

By Shireen Jamooji

Living a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to mean changing everything about your diet.  Sometimes small changes can make all the difference. Here are 5 swaps you can make today for a better tomorrow.

Whole Grains

Switch out your regular pasta, rice and bread for whole grain options for additional fibre and nutrients.

Salt

Salt is necessary for most food to taste good but by reducing your salt and replacing it with more herbs and spices can help improve your health.

Processed Meats

Over processed meats like hotdogs, bologna, ham and luncheon meat contains a lot of fat and chemicals, switch to lean meats instead.

Milk Chocolate

Switch out your regular candy for dark chocolate to add important minerals plus lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation.

Veggie Chips

The satisfying crunch of potato chips is pretty neat, but you can get the same effect with better health benefits from baked vegetable chips too.
