Brown bread can be used toreplace white bread.

If you are used to start your mornings with a hearty sandwich, we won't ask you to give up on your habit.

You can use healthy flours to make other foods like pancakes and desserts.

Milk creamer is a favourite with coffee lovers who like their drink creamy. They can opt for coconut milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup instead. And, if you can't do without carbonated drinks for that much-needed energy boost, try to drink green tea, kombucha or lemon tea instead.

There are many other ways you can eliminate unhealthy foods from your everyday diet and replace them with healthier options.
