When it comes to matters of the heart, few people know more than Dr. Jeremy, a top cardiac surgeon from the US. After a tiring day of saving lives and performing risky heart surgeries, one would expect that his dinner plate would be all fancy, nutritious foods, such as some steamed veggies, and bland protein. But guess what? You are wrong. His dinner is lip-smacking and provides him with the right amount of nutrients. Dr. London has recently shared a sneak peek of his dinner, and if you are reading this, proceed further with caution. Because if you are hungry, your stomach is going to growl.
Cobb salad with a twist
Dr. London enjoys simple home-cooked meals that are easy to prepare and are also loaded with nutrition. For dinner, he prepares his version of cobb salad. “Tonight, we’re gonna do a version of a Cobb salad. We’re gonna start off with a base of chopped romaine lettuce and tomatoes,” Dr. London said, in a video shared on Instagram.
Cookware matters
Dr. London’s cookware is as deliberate as his ingredient choices. At a time when people are constantly talking about the possible harmful effects of non-stick pans, this surgeon reveals that he uses titanium non-stick pans for their safety and convenience. “We get a lot of questions about our nonstick pans. These are titanium nonstick pans from Our Place. They have no forever chemicals. They’re super easy to clean. We use ’em every single day and absolutely love them,” he said.
Chicken for protein
Dr. London picks chicken as a protein source for his dinner. They’re low in saturated fat, which is critical for keeping arteries clear, which means heart disease is kept at bay. He sautés thin slices of chicken breasts in the pan. The chicken is then chopped into bite-sized pieces. He also adds chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad.
Salad dressing
Salads are a great option for dinner or lunch, due to their various health benefits. Most salads are loaded with veggies and fruits that are essential for gut, heart, and brain function. But people often make it unhealthy by messing up the dressing. Store-bought mayonnaise and other dressings could kill the potential health benefits. Dr. London, who has over 25 years of clinical experience, certainly knows this more than anyone else, which is why he prepares homemade dressings. Th dressing for this Cobb salad includes ingredients – olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, crushed fresh garlic, and salt and pepper. “Homemade dressings are a great place to avoid added sugars or any mysterious oils. You can use the oils that are best for you and your family,” he said.
He finishes off the salad with a bit of feta cheese, which is again heart-healthy. The creamy texture without a lot of calories also makes it delightful for the taste buds.So, what are you cooking for dinner? Tell us about your favourite healthy dinner recipe.
