Carbohydrates are not as bad as most people think. In fact they are a necessary part of our diet. Carbs are actually one of the major food groups of nutrients that provide calories – the others being protein and fat.  Carbs are made of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. They actually contain vital energy that consists of vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals that fuel our body.  

It’s barbeque season again. Potatoes, meat, chicken and veggies are all being char-grilled in back yards. Nothing says summer more than this, but have you ever thought about what is going on with that grill? Many people don’t understand the safe way of using a grill is the slow way. Putting your meat, fish, or fowl over direct heat from the grill can put you at an increased risk of developing cancer.
