Healthier Alternatives For Everyday Life!
The dichotomy of our generation is that we strive extremely hard to stay fit but aren’t willing to sacrifice for the same. It’s sure as hell is a constant battle between staying healthy and good food. The battle is even harder for us, with almost every other social media handle showcasing exemplary dishes and making us go gaga over them. How does one stay fit with all these never ending distractions? The solution then, is to look for healthier alternatives.
Let us take you through some healthier alternatives which you can choose from in your day to day life, without compromising on taste.
1. REPLACE SHAKES WITH SMOOTHIES
Shakes are surely more celebrated in comparison to smoothies, but a Smoothie is surely the healthier choice. The fact that they are made from fresh fruits and yogurt with no added flavours, makes them a healthier choice.
2. PROTIEN BARS OVER CHOCOLATES
Just like Shakes, Chocolates are the obvious choice over protein bars for almost everybody. The people who’re into fitness though, won’t agree. They know that protein bars are a quick source of energy with lesser calories. So the next time you stop at some departmental store to buy chocolates, you have an alternative.
3. SUBSTITUTE OMELETE WITH HARD BOILED EGGS
The standard breakfast for people living across Delhi, is an omelette or bread omelette. Eggs are a significant source of protein and hence the choice. As an omelette is fried, it comes with its own share of calories. The choice then, is to replace it with boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs also pack important vitamins along with protein and make for a great snack.
4. FRESH FRUITS INSTEAD OF PACKAGED JUICE
A lot of people consume packaged juice thinking it’s healthy and just like fresh juice. There is a lot of processed sugar that’s added to these packaged juices making them, unhealthy. Fresh fruits on the other hand, are natural and provide fiber to your body, which gets lost in case of packaged juices.
5. OATS > CEREAL
Although Cereal as a breakfast option is widely popular, the issue, however, is the amount of sugar and lack of fiber. Oatmeal is one of the healthier options one can get. Oats are whole-grain, which is a complex carbohydrate and one of the best things to eat in the morning. You can also add fruits and nuts to make your oatmeal interesting.
