Yum! However, if not done properly, barbequing can be very hazardous to your health. So I&#8217;d like to share some tips for safer, healthier barbequing.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Clean the grill<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Built up\u00a0food residue and grease create a sticky coating on the grill, making it difficult to flip or remove burgers and health damaging, charred materials contain cancerous substances. To clean, turn up the heat to high and close the lid for 10 minutes. This will remove most caked oil and grease. Then use steel wool with baking soda to remove germs, rust, and stubborn food residues. Rinse well.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Use healthier, natural coals<\/strong>, such as wood chips (great smoke flavor), or hardwood lump charcoal (burns hotter, slower, and has the best smoked flavor).\u00a0\u00a0 Self-starting briquettes contain harmful chemicals such as petroleum to help it ignite. These briquettes adversely affect flavor and can also cause allergies, headaches, lung problems, and contribute to cancer. If you handle the briquettes, these chemicals are absorbed through the skin into the blood stream.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Or use\u00a0<strong>gas grills\u00a0<\/strong>which burn cleaner, and can be safely started with a long handled electronic igniter.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Use safer lighting methods<\/strong>\u00a0such as lighting twigs under the coals, or use a metal, chimney-pipe cylinder (available at discount stores), which holds the charcoal above a burning piece of newspaper and uses the air flow under the charcoal to quickly bring it to the right temperature. It heats faster without the chemical taste, toxic fumes, and fire and other health hazards of lighter fluid. Charcoal lighter fluid contains petroleum distillates, benzene, and other toxic and cancer-causing chemicals.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>To prevent food from sticking<\/strong>\u00a0to the grill,\u00a0rub the cleaned grill rack with a drop of liquid lecithin before cooking. Or a grill basket (a metal cage with long handle), is great for turning hamburgers, veggies, etc. without sticking and crumbling into the fire, and the open design allows fat to drip away from the food.\u00a0 The non-stick sprays contain unhealthy chemicals, and coating food with oil to prevent sticking promotes free-radical development that can cause cholesterol, blood pressure and heart problems, and cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Healthier food preparation tips:<\/strong><br \/>\nTo grill animal products:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>\u00a0Cut the Fat off meat to reduce saturated fat and formation of toxic, cancer-causing compounds.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Rub meat with fresh, raw, sliced or pureed garlic to kill pathogenic organisms on the meat.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Wash your hands in baking soda after handling raw meat to kill the bacteria from the meat.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Use one plate and utensils for raw meat and a different plate and utensils for cooked meat to avoid contamination.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Pre-cook meats to prevent undercooking that can cause food borne diseases. Thicker meat cuts take longer to cook.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Do not over cook meat either. Scientists found that charred meat produces toxic, cancer-causing compounds.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Flip frequently to shorten cooking time.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Avoid smoke exposure because the particles in smoke damage lungs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now I know all you barbeque enthusiasts love barbequed meat. There are chemicals in the meat that are very addictive. I know. I was very addicted to animal products.\u00a0 I ate meat 3 times a day and couldn&#8217;t understand how I could be so deficient in protein, vitamins, and minerals. During my studies, I found that animal products are totally indigestible to humans. Scientific studies have shown that animal products are a major contributing factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, allergies, diabetes, and cancer, all of which I had. When I was faced with death, I decided to make some dietary changes and take a lot of herbs, and I got well in a few months. And now that I&#8217;ve broken the addiction to meat, it doesn&#8217;t taste good to me at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I\u2019m not insisting that you ban all meat from your barbeques, but it would be helpful to try some healthier vegetarian alternatives too.<strong><br \/>\nHealthier vegetarian grill recipes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>BETTER BARBEQUE SAUCE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1\/2 Tbsp BRAGG\u2019S AMINOS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 2 cups TOMATO SAUCE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a01\/4 cup prepared\u00a0MUSTARD<br \/>\n1 small ONION, minced\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2-4 Tbsp fresh LEMON JUICE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1\/2 tsp fresh grated GINGER<br \/>\nDash CAYENNE\u00a0PEPPER\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3 Tbsp.
