1. Start by substituting unhealthy ingredients for healthier alternatives.
2. Check food labels when you buy packaged ingredients and try to pick the lowest-sodium options.
3. Try whole grain ingredients in place of white flour and white rice, as they are higher in vitamins and minerals.
4. Use lower-sugar options instead of regular sugar.
5. Incorporate more vegetables into your dish; you can also replace high-fat ingredients like mayonnaise or cream with a lower-fat alternatives like Greek yogurt.
6. Consider fresh herbs and spices to give your dish more flavor instead of adding salt or relying on pre-made sauces.
