LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It's also so easy to switch up some of the fatty products you commonly eat to healthier alternatives, without losing the delicious taste.
This helpful video from Buzzfeed shows 8 simple ways to be healthier, here are some of their tips:
Refined white sugar has no nutritional value to you. Instead, you can use coconut sugar; it contains iron, calcium, zinc and potassium.
White rice is just brown rice completely refined and stripped of all nutrients, so try to use brown rice.
Lettuce buns are a good alternative for staying away from carb-heavy breads.
Whole wheat or brown rice tortillas are a much healthier choice over processed flour tortillas.
Greek yogurt, almond butter and sweet potatoes are a better choice over regular yogurt, peanut butter and potatoes.
Join Pope Francis in praying for Persecuted Christians - Take the pledge today!
When trying to decide how to dress your sandwich, go for an avocado spread; it's a healthier choice over mayonnaise and it ultimately tastes better.
It is important to always eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and to consume junk food in moderation, because we all know it's nearly impossible to stay completely away from junk food.
