How To BBQ With Less Health Risk

By Michael Anderson


A good old barbecue remains one of the most favorable ways to prepare meat and celebrate a special occasion with friends and family. While there has been a considerable amount of controversy surrounding the traditional BBQ and the risk of cancer, there are solutions available to protect against adverse effects and health concerns. There is no need to give up on the grill, but it is advisable to learn about the tips and tricks you can use to continue to enjoy prepared meats.

When it comes to the summer months, there is certainly nothing better than a good old grill and entertainment outdoors. A great deal of criticism surrounds the traditional barbecue because the application of smoke and heat to meats results in the development of cancer causing chemicals including HCA and PAH. Incorporating healthier alternatives can help you and your family continue to enjoy the grill, but without the associated risks.

The use of herbs and olive oil can aid in preventing the development of cancer causing agents that result from intense heat. These particular ingredients are important because of their antioxidant properties, but also to improve the taste of meat. One may choose among a variety of herbs including sage, basil, rosemary, thyme, and mint.

Herbal remedies will reduce the carbons that are produced when meat is cooked and can increase the risk of developing cancer. The selection of cuts must not include large strips of excess fat and will need to be removed from the grill. The oils and fats that drip from meat and land on the grill should be removed to minimize the possibility of harsh chemical formation in the foods that you consume.

Be sure to thoroughly clean all of the grills when meals are in the process of being prepared. There is no need to consider taste as a bland process, but to create marinades using olive oils and lemon juice that will enhance the flavor and decrease the production of chemicals. It is important that food is well prepared and not cooked to the point that it becomes charred.

For a delicious barbecue add olive oil and herbs to your vegetables. This is considered among the easiest and most cost effective way to prepare meals. Marinades can be added to both vegetables and meats that are prepared on the grill.

In summary, barbecuing can be made healthy with the right steps taken to prepare your cold cuts. Lean meat is considered best and the use of a marinade containing herbs can protect against harmful chemicals. Add a citrus base or olive oil and enjoy one of the most popular traditions.
