Healthy 4th of July Ideas

It's definitely one of the most important holidays America celebrates. The 4th of July is special because we are reminded about what makes this country so great, and the men and women that made it great.

We also watch fireworks, socialize with friends and family, and eat way too much food. I don't really know why overeating and drinking has become a necessity, so I'm going to encourage you to try something different...just once. If you like it, stick with it. If not, don't tell me.

Here are a list of my favorite places to find Healthy 4th of July snack and meal ideas. Look through the list, find the one you like, try it, and let me know which one it was. I'd love to hear back from you.

Are You Being Deceived Like I Am?

It's obvious to all of us which foods are healthy for us and which ones are not...well, not always. Let me explain.

Just because we think something is good for us, it's not always the case. For instance, you have heard about "natural" and "organic" foods and products. They should be healthy for us, right? Well, it's time to check the label. Here's what I fell for...

I tend to purchase natural and hormone free meats so I can avoid the hormones. Recently I found some 100% natural angus beef that was easy to cook and tasted great, until I checked the label. It turns out that just 4 oz of this meat contained 17 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat (the bad kind of fat), and it even had trans fat in it. But it gets worse. Read more.
