Ever wondered what heart doctors chow down on after a long day of consultations? Well, cardiologists aren’t just all about mending hearts – they’re keen on keeping theirs in tip-top shape too. As Dr. Sharonne Hayes from the Mayo Clinic puts it, heart specialists are big on walking the talk: “Staying heart-healthy is our mantra.”
And guess what’s a game-changer for heart health? Yep, it’s what’s on that dinner plate. Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian of Tufts University underscores that our dinner choices play a pivotal role in our heart’s well-being. But it’s not just about food; dinner serves as a moment of relaxation, bonding, and self-care.
So, curious about a cardiologist’s dinner plate?
For Dr. Hayes, a fan of pescatarian delights, it’s a vibrant mix of “beans, greens, and tomatoes”. With her partner being a vegetarian cardiologist, their meals are rich in protein-packed legumes, complemented by fresh greens and tomatoes. Oh, and they’ve got a soft spot for carbs, but with a twist. Think gnocchi salads, avocado toasts, and a sprinkle of greens.
