hi guys welcome back to my channel today
we are doing five simple ways to be
healthier I'm going to show you five
simple substitutions that you can make
with your go-to foods so let's get to it
so we could have started with the
obvious of them all white bread white
bread does more harm than good to the
body it provides way too much calories
and very few nutrients so if you want to
use bread always go for whole grain but
when you really want to cut down on the
calories and bring a little more
nutrients in there
I love including cucumbers as my base
for sandwich so here I'm just making a
little turkey roll-ups with cucumber you
just put your favorite ingredients put a
little mustard mayo ketchup whatever
makes you happy
and you roll it cucumbers are low in
calories and a great source of vitamin C
k and potassium and especially if you
are watching your weight this is such a
great and easy way to make lean
sandwiches full of goodness another
version is using a lettuce I'm sure
you've heard of lettuce wraps
those are great also in the summer
season now a lot of barbecuing so
swapping your regular burger buns for
some lettuce is way more nutrient and
less calorie heavy so you can put your
bean burger your beef burger or whatever
burger you eat and go get it the next
easy swap you can make is cheese so I'm
not saying you don't need to eat cheese
but unfortunately like many other things
we over consume cheese and this comes
from a person that puts cheese on
everything so if you want to cut back a
little bit nutritional yeast is my go-to
I put it on popcorn I put it in salads
whenever I want a little cheesy taste to
it it is an amazing source of B vitamins
the next swap that is easy to make is
creating a healthier pizza so I love
pizza and there's nothing wrong with
eating the regular pizzas that you can
order anywhere but we want to avoid
eating too much of it because it is
though and it breaks down really quickly
and actually makes our blood sugar spike
so here's a healthy version that I like
to make with the whole-wheat tortilla
it's whole-grain which makes it high in
fiber and it breaks down slower and
doesn't cause blood sugar spike the next
thing that I like to use a lot in my
house is Mayo classic Mayo from the
store is full of preservatives and
unnecessary ingredients they won't
believe how easy it is to make a
homemade one this male has only four
ingredients and it will last up to ten
days in the fridge I love adding garlic
to it or chili flakes it's really your
imagination that can take you anywhere
when it comes to this Mayo recipe the
next swap that is easy to make is this
ice cream we all love ice cream you'll
be surprised how easy it is to make your
own ice cream and that is much more
beneficial you can control the amount of
sugar that's in it and you can make all
the different recipes that you want I'll
actually attach a few of my favorite
ones in the description box so here this
is just a four ingredient ice cream you
put in the freezer and you are good to
go and that's it you guys I hope you
enjoyed it and please let me know if you
have any substitutes that you make with
your food see you guys next time
