Delicious Ways

Deep-frying chicken adds calories, fat, and sodium to an otherwise healthy food. Studies have linked fried food with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure -- all of which raise your odds of heart failure. For a crispy but healthier choice, bread skinless chicken breasts in whole-wheat flour and bake instead of frying.

Fast food hamburgers are often made from lower-quality meat from cows that have been raised and treated with antibiotics and growth hormones. The patties are often high in saturated fat, sodium, and preservatives. It is much better and healthier to make your own hamburgers at home using lean, USDA 100% organic beef or turkey. Red meat is still red meat. In general, it is best to limit your intake of red meat to no more than once per week as red meet in excess is cancer-causing. In studies, consumption of processed meat and alcohol have been linked to higher rates of stomach cancer.
