And the Champions are. . .

Most people are always trying to find those magical substitutes to their food that can be enjoyed and that, most importantly, help them to become healthier. No, I am not a health guru and hardly even a dieter, but therefore I do try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Through my life there are two products that I have found to be the greatest substitutes. The champions are honey and carbonated water.

You heard right. Condiments and sodas, just go ahead and put your caps down in shame. Walk away. March.

Honey is the condiment of the gods. It is a natural sweetener that taste good with just about anything you eat with ketchup. Eat honey with chicken and fries instead of honey mustard. It can also replace butter on foods like toast and pasta. You can even replace jelly by making a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Honey helps give you energy and can help your immune system. It also has many other benefits that several websites are dedicated to showing.

For anyone who drinks soda, a switch should be made to start drinking carbonated water. Carbonated water comes in flavors such as wild cherry and key lime that taste just like cherry cola or sprite. They have all of the health benefits of water and yet the taste of soft drinks. Also, carbonated water is much cheaper. Wall-mart sells their brand for only 88 cents a liter.

For people who don’t like carbonated drinks or honey (my sister), there are so many other substitutes out there. These substitutes really do make a difference in our lifestyle and once you find who your champions are you will be lead to a more positive and healthy life.
