Spring is upon us....
...or so they say. I woke up to a coating of snow and ice on the car, so I'm not completely buying this Spring thing. But for many of you, I'm sure the temperatures have warmed up and so have your grills.
What does this mean? Well, BBQ's are fun, no doubt about it, but the foods we enjoy can be devestating to our health. This is not the time to quit eating a healthy oat based breakfast. In fact, it's probably time to see how you can "healthy up" those feasts at the picnic table.
Swap out your regular chips for Sun Chips. Whole grains, good for you. Look for whole grain rolls. I know this one is hard, but ditch the hot dogs. They contain so many chemicals and questionable items, not to mention tons of sodium. Check your local grocer for all natural chicken or turkey sausages. Lower in fat and much healthier for you. Put a little creativity and thought into your outdoor outings and you'll keep on track with better health!
