Have a safe and happy 4th of July from all of us at the Answers Media Network.
Our HealthcareNOW Radio’s Friday Five is a weekly post highlighting current events. Here is one of the five items from this past Friday’s post on tips and advice to help you have a happy, healthy and safe July 4th celebration!
Health(ier) Party Food
As with all of our holidays in the US, the fourth of July seems to have become focused a great deal on the food we eat for the holiday. Most of the time the appetizers, desserts and main dishes are packed with unhealthy ingredients and mountains of calories, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The internet is full of healthier options for all of the courses on your menu. These options from Greatist even include calorie friendly adult beverages.

Grilling Safety
No doubt at some point over the Fourth of July holiday you may indulge in a freshly grilled burger or hot dog. The National Fire Protection Association (@nfpa) offers some tips and reminders to properly use your grill safely to prevent fires.
Planning a BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July? Keep your grill out in the open, away from the house, deck, branches, or anything that could catch fire. For more tips, visit: https://t.co/yHW2itQeY7 #grillingsafety #july4th #independenceday #RedCrossReady #grillmasters pic.twitter.com/BXCQLKTqEb
