5 simple switches for a healthier diet
1. Choose whole wheat bread instead of white bread. Whole wheat bread is made with flour from the entire wheat berry, giving it more healthy fiber and vitamins. In the store: When deciding on which bread to choose, look at the ingredients. The first ingredient listed should be whole wheat flour.
2. Choose spinach or romaine instead of iceberg lettuce.
Spinach and other dark leaved lettuces contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than iceberg. In the store: Packaged spinach and other dark leaved lettuces are often available which allow for easy use.
3. Choose water instead of drinks containing added sugar
A good goal to shoot for is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. (ex. 120lbs/2=60 lbsà60 oz.) In the store: Instead of spending money on sodas and other high sugar drinks, carry water with you during the day.
4. Choose low fat and fat free dairy products instead of full fat dairy.
Low fat and fat free dairy products contain the same amount of calcium and vitamin D as whole milk products, but with fewer calories and less saturated fat. In the store: When looking for milk, cheese and yogurt, choose the low fat or fat free options.
5. Choose olive oil or canola oil instead of butter. Butter, and other fats that are solid at room temperature, raise LDL cholesterol, which can contribute to cardiovascular disease. Olive oil and canola oil, however, contain more healthy fats that are essential to your diet. In cooking, olive oil can be easily substituted for butter, especially when sautéing fresh vegetables and chicken. In the store: Choose plant based oils (mono-‐and polyunsaturated fats) that are liquid at room temperature. Check the nutrition label and try to avoid foods that contain trans fats or high amounts of saturated fats.
Remember: Choosing a healthier option should not be considered a “diet,” it should be considered a choice for a healthier lifestyle. Source: myplate.org
