This week's theme is Affordable Swaps!

Little substitutions can make a big difference in our health. These are a few ideas on small ways to improve health by switching out unhealthy food choices with healthier substitutes. 
Action Item: Swap this for that
  • Swap milk for almond or soy milk to reduce intake of added hormones and antibiotics from dairy products.

  • Swap red meat like beef for lean meat like chicken or fish to reduce risk of heart disease.

  • Swap cereal for oatmeal to reduce sugar intake. Add fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to make it a delicious morning treat.

  • Swap butter for olive oil to reduce intake of saturated fats and cholesterol.

  • Swap soda for flavored water to reduce sugar intake, assist in weight loss, improve digestion, and reduce risk of diabetes. Squeezing lemon or lime into a cool glass of water will make staying hydrated much easier.
Moving Through the Week:

The next time you go to the grocery store, consider swapping your normal purchases for healthier alternatives. The best way to avoid eating unhealthy foods is to not buy them!
