Chicken Sandwich vs Tuna Sandwich- Healthy Food Options

Most of us have a decent idea on what is healthy and what is not. We eat healthy to the best of knowledge and experience but sometimes get confused while choosing between two similar looking healthy options. There are numerous combination or options that are available.

To help you ease your dilemma we have put together a list of 5 regular options you come across everyday and supporting it scientific reason to help you make healthiest decisions.

Wheat Flakes vs Oatmeal : Wheat flakes and oatmeal are made from whole cereal grain and provide good nutrition. Both are rich in fiber but the soluble fiber in oatmeal is higher than wheat flakes making it a healthier option. The soluble fiber makes you feel fuller for a longer duration and lowers the glycemic index of the food. Mix wheat flakes in your oatmeal for variation.

Chicken Sandwich vs Tuna Sandwich: This is a tough choice as both are white meat and healthy too. Tuna is a fish which contains a lot of omega 3 fatty acids and very little fat. Chicken contains more cholesterol than tuna making fish a healthier option for heart health.

Single fruit Juice vs Mixed Fruit Juice: Fresh fruit juices are a better option than packaged juices. While choosing a fruit juice go for mixed as opposed to a single fruit juice as it would give a combined nutrition of the fruits. The flavor of mixed fruit  juice can also be changed by choosing different fruits ensuring variety of flavors.

Milk vs Buttermilk: Milk has traditionally been a great source of protein, calcium and minerals. But as per the latest studies butter milk, also belonging to the dairy food group, has been touted has a healthier option between the two. Buttermilk has an added advantage of containing good bacteria which is great for digestion and has lesser fat than milk.

White Sauce vs Red sauce: Most of the pastas & spaghetti is cooked either in the red sauce or the white sauce. Red sauce is tomato based while the white sauce is made of white flour and milk.  The red sauce contains  Dietary Fiber, vitamins and some important minerals. While white sauce has processed flour and sometimes to give it extra flavor milk is substituted with cream. Therefore the red sauce is any day a healthier option to choose from.

The basic logic in ensuring the nutrition content of the food is to pay attention to the main ingredients of the food available. Besides that practice portion control  as too much of anything is bad for health and lastly try to get moderate exercise for healthier metabolism.
