Father's Day and barbecue season go hand in hand, but if you're living with Lymphedema, it's worth thinking beyond burgers, hot dogs, and salty side dishes.

This year, consider adding some healthier options to the grill:

 ~ Grilled vegetables like zucchini, peppers, and asparagus

 ~ Lean grilled chicken with fresh herbs and citrus marinades

 ~ Salmon or other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids

 ~ Grilled fruit such as pineapple or peaches for a naturally sweet dessert

 ~  Fresh corn on the cob and colourful summer salads

Choosing fresh ingredients and reducing excess sodium can help support overall wellness while still enjoying all the flavours of Father's Day.

Good food, great company, and a healthier approach to grilling. Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate Dad.
