Healthy Eating



All of us love to indulge ourselves with unhealthy foods at times, and on occasion, it cannot do a great deal of harm, but generally we need to follow a practical healthy diet. For those who have abused their bodies throughout, there is still time to take stock and change course. Creating the right eating habits is a very smart choice, no matter what your age may be.

If your eating habits have not been the best, make changes one by one, or day by day or week by week, taking it slowly so that you don`t get the feeling that you have been deprived. It may not be easy at first, but when you start feeling the benefits you will no doubt know that it is well worth the effort.

In the best interests of health, almost any cake recipe can be converted, by using the following substitutions. Proportions may be altered to taste. Remember, if it costs a little more, it is only because in the long term it will save you a lot more in doctor’s and chemist’s bills. You will be surprised at how much tastier the natural alternative is.

Instead Of: Rather use
1 cup oil: 1/2 cup fresh cream or NC Dairy-Free Cream
1 cup sugar: 1/2 cup NC honey or NC fructose
Refined flour : NC wholewheat pastry flour
Baking powder: NC aluminium-free baking powder, or follow recipe given above
Synthetic vanilla: NC Natural Vanilla (optional)
