"Cardiologists Share Heart-Healthy Lunch Choices"
Cardiologists warn that lunch has the potential to be the unhealthiest meal of the day, with people often opting for greasy, processed foods or fast food. To maintain a heart-healthy diet, cardiologists recommend options such as a salad with lean protein, a grain bowl with vegetables and salmon, a peanut butter sandwich on multigrain bread, a nutrient-packed smoothie, or Greek yogurt with berries or nuts. They advise avoiding popular lunch choices like hamburgers and fries, processed meat sandwiches, and high-salt or cream-based soups. Choosing nutrient-dense ingredients and homemade dressings is key to maintaining a heart-healthy lunch.
