• In place of white bread, buns, rolls, and bagels, eat whole wheat bread products.
• Instead of regular pastries and cakes, eat cookies and cakes sweetened with fruit juice or
applesauce.
• Substitute saltine crackers with whole grain crackers or rye crisps.
• Use baked corn tortillas in place of commercial corn chips.
• Drink herbal teas in place of coffee or black tea.
• Replace frozen commercial waffles and prepackaged pancake mixes with whole wheat French toast or whole grain pancake mixes.
• Eat frozen fruit instead of ice cream.
• Instead of white sugar, sweeten foods with honey, molasses, sorghum, or barley malt.
• In place of table salt, use herbs or herbal “salt.”
• Substitute brown or wild rice, or barley for white rice in recipes.

Make all these changes and you may never need a doctor again. Remember, there is no better medicine than prevention and healthy living. It’s far easier to avoid disease that treats it after it happens.
