How to Eat for a Healthy Lifestyle

“Spark” Up Your Grill This Fourth of July
Fireworks, parades, and barbecue! Here are some last-minute tips for a tasty, healthful, and safe Fourth of July cookout.
Choose lean cuts of beef, including round, sirloin and loin cuts. You can tenderize the meat to increase flavor and texture.
Marinate
in salsa, low-calorie salad dressing, wine, pineapple, papaya or citrus
juices like orange, lemon or lime. Cover meat with about a quarter-inch
of marinade and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Always marinate in the
refrigerator and turn the meat occasionally.
When it's time to
cook, place the meat on a clean, slightly oiled grill. Baste with fresh
marinade or heat the marinade until it reaches a rolling boil before
using it.
Grill steaks until they are at least 145 ° F and ground
meat until at least 160 ° F ….and then kick back, enjoy your feast and
have a great holiday.
