Hearts will be everywhere in February, but Hoag Hospital (whose cafeteria we reviewed) and the Newport Beach Restaurant
Association want to bring to focus to the beating, blood-pumping variety. In honor of American Heart Month, the health-care provider has partnered with OC restaurants to develop special heart-healthy menus.
Throughout Hoag Heart Month, each restaurant will provide a special menu featuring choices such as:
- Whole grains rather than processed (brown rice vs. white rice)
- Serving of fruit or vegetables (either raw or steamed vs. sautéed)
- Grilled options rather than fried (grilled chicken breast vs. fried chicken)
- Entrées without creamy sauces/condiments (or option to have them on the side)
Along with exercising regularly, eating heart-healthy foods can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
