4. Trying to kick coffee?
If you've been trying to cut back on caffeine and want some help, here's a simple solution: The next time you're at the health food section in your grocery store, look for Teechino in the tea and coffee section. It's a caffeine-free herbal coffee that's made from chicory, dates and a few other treats and is guaranteed to fill your mug with flavour with less than 15 calories per cup. Teechino comes in a variety of flavours and is even better with a splash of milk or soymilk.
5. Pack away those preservatives: Canned and boxed goods
Is your cupboard filled with canned soups and dinners that come from a box? If so, your cupboards are most likely packed with preservatives as well. If you're strapped for time and can't help but reach for a can of soup, make sure it's organic. Fresh is always best, but at least organic canned and boxed goods are free of nasty preservatives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG). President's Choice offers a great selection of organic goods, and Whole Foods carries nothing but.
6. Crack down on crackers with a little TLC
Are you used to snacking on crackers, cookies and chips? Most of these foods are packed with added sugar and trans fats. There are many nutrition-friendly and tasty options to replace these items. Kashi makes an outstanding line of crackers called TLC, which go well with almond butter, cheese, antipasto or just eat them on their own.
7. Add some spice to your life
Cape Herb & Spice Company makes a great selection of spice grinders that add excitement to any dish. They are packed with an irresistible combo of spices and sea salt, which deliver precious minerals to the body. Throw out the table salt and bring on the grinders to revive your stir-fries and salads.
With cupboards full of nutrient-rich foods, you'll find it's easier to select foods that satisfy your appetite and keep you feeling great. Remember that healthy eating is all about making smart choices; so when you choose high-quality nourishment, you're providing your body with what it needs to perform at its peak. Enjoy the benefits.
