How To Have A Healthy BBQ

Everybody enjoys summer barbecues. Trouble is, grilled meals are loaded with fat and calories. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the pleasure of grilling and eating with your family and friends. You still can and at the same time, stay fit and healthy!

Here are several summer barbecue survival tips from Zone Delivery USA to help you get through summer barbecue season and still maintain a healthy eating lifestyle.

You can also read these 6 easy ideas to make your barbecue much healthier. While you plan for your barbecue gathering, it is important to remember a few things to ensure that it does not ruin your healthy diet.

1. Avoid using barbecue sauces with high sugar and calorie content. Instead, marinate your meat in soy sauce and your selection of herbs and spices.
2. Create your own pasta or potato salad.  Be especially choosy when picking up ingredients for your salad.
3. Make your own desserts with fruits. They are lighter, cooler and healthier.
4. Watch what you drink. Do not drink soda, it is full of sugar and the diet versions are full of chemicals. It is also good to avoid drinking alcohol but if you do, choose a light beer. A fruit punch or a fruit shake would be a good alternative.
5. Consider making home-made sweet potato french fries.
6. Watch how much you eat.  Don’t get carried away with the set of delicious dishes on the table.

Juice To Prevent Alzheimer’s

If you drink a lot of fruit juice you can lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists at University of Glasgow have found that the high amount of antioxidants in juice helps prevent a number of chronic diseases, like Alzheimer.

The most efficient juice is the one from dark blue or purple concord grapes as the blue substance concord contains a lot of antioxidants.

Start each day with an antioxidant super boost. And if you’re feeling tried take another one a night.

Food, Inc. Where To See It

Do you find it natural that tomatoes stay “fresh” for weeks in our refrigerators?

A friend of mine forgot an apple on the windowsill when she went on at summer vacation.
After 2 weeks in a sunny window you would imagine the apple to be crawling. But NO.
When she got back it looked just perfect. Like a tasty, crisp apple.
The inside did not look as tasty but the outside was perfect.

It’s crazy! Our food should not be that way!

This is exactly what Robert Kenny shows us in his new movie Food, Inc. Read more

How Does Rocket Fuel End Up in Our Milk

There is rocket fuel in ALL infant formula sold in the US.
~According to CDC .

The toxin, perchlorate, is not just found baby formula. But ALL Non Organic dairy products.

So how does it get in there?

Here is the official explanation:

1. US water supplies are full of toxins, perchlorate is one of them.
2. The cows are drinking the water or the toxins first get in the grass which is eaten by the cows.
3. The toxins end up in the milk.

HOW COME 100% organic products showed NO rocket fuel toxins????

Don’t organic cows drink the same water?
Don’t organic cows eat the same grass?

It MUST be something that the conventional cows are being fed or injected that makes the difference.

Or what am I missing here?
