How to Have a Heart Healthy 4th of July
The 4th of July is just around the corner, which for many of us means BBQ time!
Here are some healthy barbeque ideas so you avoid sabotaging your heart healthy diet:
1. Talk more than you chew.
You don’t have to have a loaded plate to enjoy yourself. Take the time to catch up with a friend. Enjoy watching the kids play. When it’s meal time let others serve themselves first. Select a smaller plate and fill it with the healthiest options limiting foods slathered in mayo, fried, and breaded. Sit down to enjoy the food versus mindlessly eating while standing around the buffet table.
2. Sip smart.
