Independence Day gives you the opportunity to show off your cooking skills and basque in the sunshine. Whether you are firing up the grill, slow cooking a labor-intensive dish, or creating an array of dips, the day is all about impressing guests, especially if you are hosting the party. Unfortunately, many of us abandon our healthy habits on Independence Day to indulge in excessive amounts of meat, chips, alcohol, sweets, and whatever else we can get our hands on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can almost guarantee that you are going to run into some bad foods on the 4th <\/sup>of July. How you handle yourself when you encounter these foods will determine how the body feels the next day. To avoid being at war with your stomach, there a few strategies you can employ to keep yourself healthy this Independence Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load Up On Grilled Veggies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to grill meat just because you fire up the grill. You can grill onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, or zucchini. Loading your plate with grilled vegetables will help keep your total calorie intake down and lead to an easier digestion period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Skip Out On Exercising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Fourth of July is a holiday, yes, but that doesn\u2019t mean you get to take a day off from exercising. Some gyms may have limited holiday hours, but you can do fun workouts outside. Take a bike ride, go to the beach or lake and swim, go on a hike<\/a>, or swim in a friend\u2019s pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Skip Meals To \u201cSave\u201d Calories For Later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This mindset is flawed. When you don\u2019t eat meals leading up to the party, BBQ, or cookout, you actually end up overeating and making poor food choices. If you are going to a party and don\u2019t know what foods they will have, drink a smoothie or eat a little salad before you leave your house so that you don’t eat as much when you arrive. You can also bring a healthy dish to the party so that you can ensure you have something to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are trying to figure out what you need to bring to a party or make for your own shindig, try out some of the following recipes for a healthier Independence Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raw Vegan Cucumber Melon Salsa<\/h2>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The simplest and most delicious way to enjoy eggplant is by grilling it. It\u2019s also a blank canvas, meaning it easily adopts flavors. When you marinate the eggplant slices, you impart depth of flavor that only becomes more intense when you grill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
