When Food Becomes Medicine

Effort: 10 minutesMost people think hospitals are all about doctors and machines, but what if the food is part of the treatment? In hospitals, meals aren’t just about taste or filling you up; they can help your heart work better. Hospitality in healthcare includes chefs, diet staff, menu planners, and food service workers who design meals for healing, not just hunger. During February's American Heart Awareness Month , this matters even more. In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death, and hospitals are rethinking how food can support recovery and prevention. Lower-sodium meals, heart-healthy fats, and smarter portions are part of patient care through the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Eating Plans. Your Task: You’re part of a hospital hospitality team during Heart Awareness Month. A patient satisfaction survey says: “Food was okay. You’re better off ordering Uber Eats.” To improve patient satisfaction, your team is tasked with adding a new heart-healthy meal. Step 1: Using the DASH Plan, create a meal helping hospital patients recover from a heart-related issue. Create one full meal tray (main dish, side, drink, optional dessert) that supports heart health and still feels comforting. Step 2: Have one sentence description that would go on the food menu that gets patients excited to order this meal. Your Submission: Include your full meal tray with the ingredients and the one sentence description. Image: Courtesy of the NIH More
