Here are some examples for healthier substitutions you can make in your every day diet:

1. Try cooking Quinoa instead of white rice for some variety and more fiber.

Why?

o White rice is linked to obesity when consumed on a daily basis
o Quinoa has over 21% of the recommended daily intake of fiber, where rice only has 14%. Quinoa also offers 50% more protein!

2. Substitute those French fries for kale chips.

Why?

o Fries are saturated in fat and salt which makes you vulnerable to diabetes, among other diseases.

o Not only are kale chips delicious, they are full of powerful antioxidants which boost energy and can help you maintain healthy skin.

3. Replace sodas with flavored sparkling waters like Cascade Ice, which has Zero Calories!

Why?

o An average 20oz soda has 66 grams of sugar!

o Cascade Ice sparkling water has no sugar, sodium, calories, gluten or caffeine.
