Now that grilling season is upon us, let's go over a few things so we can keep our grilling season as healthy as possible.
Choose quality meats. When possible, go with grass-fed meat, pasture-raised poultry, and wild fish. They deliver more flavor and nutrients.
Grill smart. Cut back on grill-related toxins by keeping the heat low, precooking meat, trimming off excess fat, and choosing lean meats. Be sure to trim off any charred pieces too.
Make clean DIY marinades. Marinating meat reduces grilling toxins and makes your food taste better. Skip store-bought marinades and whip up your own clean versions.
Be picky with your cooking oils. Pass on seed oils and opt for high-quality cooking oils with high smoke points. Olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and beef tallow are all great picks.
Add in antioxidants. Antioxidants can help combat oxidative damage from grill toxins. So sneak in antioxidant-rich foods to your BBQ meals.
Freshen up sides. Classic BBQ sides can be heavy and hard to digest. Do your belly a favor and include fresh options like salads, grilled fruit or veggie kebabs.
