These days, a healthy lifestyle is a topic on everyone's lips. We know that with a fast-paced life, it can be a bit challenging to make time to cook all meals of the day. Some changes can be made simply by replacing certain foods with others that might be better for us. Here are some that can help you improve your lifestyle:

Instead of cooking your food with butter or margarine, you can use canola oil and remove the excess with a napkin. Otherwise, spray oil is a good option.

If you love milk, you can replace it with a low-calorie version or with seed milk such as almond, coconut, or soy milk.

For dressings, you can switch them for an oil and vinegar dressing, or if you prefer them creamier, add yogurt.

You can accompany your dishes with avocado or guacamole, replacing mayonnaise. Avocado has fiber, minerals, and vitamins, as well as fats that help protect your heart.

If you like something crunchy as a snack, choose baked vegetable chips; they provide fewer calories and will satisfy your midday hunger.

Eggs are a delicious ingredient for breakfast; you can separate the egg white from the yolk and instead of frying it, poach or boil it. You can add vegetables or turkey breast ham as a side.

Continue enjoying sweet flavors without the calories of sugar. Replace it with sucralose or stevia, two excellent sugar substitutes backed by the World Health Organization.

With bread, you can choose whole grain breads; if they are artisanal, even better. You can also replace them with corn tortillas or nopal tostadas.

Implement these small changes in your daily diet, and you will see the positive results they will bring. It is important to consume two liters of water a day; remember that water allows our metabolic and cellular functions to occur correctly. Also, remember that the ideal calorie intake depends on each individual; it is not the same for everyone. An active or sedentary lifestyle and medical history are key aspects to know what your ideal diet should be.
