Tanimura & Antle’s Artisan Lettuce is slated to be featured on the nationally-syndicated nutrition news show, Appetite for Health, during May, National Salad Month.
Two separate segments, “Heart-Smart Salads” and “The Mediterranean Diet” will air across the United States in more than 250 media markets on May 6 and May 15 on The Daily Buzz affiliates and May 16 and May 27 on ION Television’s Newswatch affiliates.
4 million broadcast viewers will be exposed to important messages about the importance of a plant-based diet for improving health and reducing risk for chronic diseases, including heart disease.
The recent New England Journal of Medicine research showing that a Mediterranean diet can reduce one’s risk for heart disease by as much as 30% was the inspiration for the “Mediterranean Diet” segment to air on May 15, 16 while the Heart Health segment, airing on May 6 and 27, highlights how viewers can easily identify heart-smart choices in the supermarket, like Tanimura & Antle Artisan Lettuce bearing the American Heart Associations’ Heart Check.
Hosts Katherine Brooking, MS, RD and Julie Upton, MS, RD, nationally-recognized registered dietitians and authors, will deliver sound nutrition, healthy eating and cooking advice each week on their show and encourage viewers to eat like a nutrition pro.
“We’re thrilled to work with the nation’s leading produce companies, like Tanimura & Antle, to show our viewers that healthy eating isn’t hard, time-consuming, too expensive or out-of-reach,” said Julie Upton, MS, RD. “We hear people say all the time why they can’t eat better—but every week, we show them how they can,” added Brooking.
