Easy food substitutes for a healthier you

While staying healthy is important now more than ever, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite food and drink! If you are part of the population eager to improve your health this year but don’t relish the idea of going into a strict diet, then these simple food swaps can help make a major difference to your weight and health.

Switch from potato chips to crispy veggie chips

There’s nothing like watching TV with a bag of chips, right? However, you should always keep in mind that these snacks are heavy on calories and offer very few nutrients. You can still have your crunchy snack fix by throwing in your favorite veggies in the oven. Use thinly sliced potatoes, sweet potatoes, baby carrots, or kale seasoned with spices or a little bit of cheese for starters.

Switch from white rice to brown rice

White rice is high in sugar and can lead to high-risk complications like obesity or heart diseases. But because we can’t have our favorite Filipino meals without rice, try swapping white rice with brown! Brown rice is full of fiber and has less cholesterol, which helps prevent heart risks. If you’re feeling advanced, set aside the grains and use cauli-rice (cauliflower rice) for dinner. Dice the vegetable, blend for a finer texture, and serve in a cup like rice!

Switch from ice cream to a yogurt

Do not deprive your sweet tooth of desserts; swap the ice cream to a yogurt for a healthier, low-calorie creamy fix. Mix in your favorite fruits, syrups, and nuts to complete your dessert!

Switch from conventional coffee to organic coffee

If you live on 1-2 cups of coffee every day, try drinking coffee made from natural products like MX3 Coffee Mix. MX3 Coffee Mix is rich in antioxidants derived from mangosteen. It’s a good source of Vitamin C and Calcium to help support your healthy diet. MX3 also offers the MX3 Tea, a healthy blend of mangosteen leaves and mangosteen pericarp extract, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

These small changes might not seem much but know that they can already do wonders for your health. Knowing the healthy alternatives to your favorite foods now will help you reap the benefits in the long run.
