Dear healthwellness82@gmail.com, Summer means backyard barbecues with family and friends—and the delicious food you just don’t get any other way. But before you fire up your grill, Mark Stengler, NMD, a naturopathic physician and leading authority on alternative and integrative medicine, shares a cooking secret that will keep any kind of meat you cook safe from cancer-causing chemicals that come from grilling—and make it tastier at the same time! Moving from the backyard into the house—you can keep your romance sizzling, too, if you do the dishes with your spouse. Yes, that’s what I said. Constance Gager, PhD, an assistant professor of family and child studies at Montclair State University in New Jersey, explains why couples who share chores have more sex. All the best, Jessica Kent Editor BottomLineSecrets.com Healthful Charcoal Grilling Mark A. Stengler, NMD Grilling was a topic mentioned in the July 2010 issue of Bottom Line Natural Healing. Apart from the food that you grill, are some types of charcoal and lighter fluid less harmful than others? -K.C., via e-mail Some types of charcoal are, in fact, less harmful than others. Inexpensive supermarket briquettes, which often are made with scraps of wood or sawdust, can include additives such as coal dust (which is bad for your lungs). Instead, look for "natural" types of charcoal made from 100% hardwood that don’t have the additives or chemicals that can taint food. Example: Cowboy Charcoal (800-775-4060, www.CowboyCharcoal.com). To start your fire, avoid lighter fluid because it is made of a petroleum distillate that, when lit, can give off chemicals that may leave residue on food. Instead, light your fire with a chimney starter, a metal cylinder with a small charcoal grate that enables you to easily set the charcoal in the cylinder on fire without the use of chemicals—then place the burning coals in the grill. Reminder: Avoid grilling your food at very high heat for long periods of time. Bottom Line/Natural Healing interviewed Mark A. Stengler, NMD, a naturopathic medical doctor and leading authority on the practice of alternative and integrated medicine. Dr. Stengler is author of the Bottom Line Natural Healing newsletter, author of The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies (Bottom Line Books), founder and medical director of the Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine in Encinitas, California, and adjunct associate clinical professor at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. www.DrStengler.com More Housework, More Sex Constance Gager, PhD For both husbands and wives, doing more work around the house increases the likelihood of having sex together. Possible reasons: Spouses who divide the housework have more time and energy for sex... and working hard may signal a commitment to the home and marriage. What to do: Share household work as well as other tasks in a way that satisfies both partners. Bottom Line/Personal interviewed Constance Gager, PhD, assistant professor of family and child studies, Montclair State University, Montclair, New Jersey, and leader of a study of 6,877 married couples, published online in Journal of Family Issues.
