Restaurants:
Below are some restaurants that serve hard-to-find power-foods, foods that are packed with highly concentrated sources of nutrients that are critical for optimum health. The most important foods that are the most difficult to find in sufficient quantities when eating out include sources of whole grains, beta-carotene, folic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids. Some of the best sources for these are found in salmon, carrots, yams, sweet potatoes, dark-green leafy vegetables such as spinach or broccoli, brown rice, etc.
Please e-mail Mary Ann at utahrunningclub@gmail.com if you know of any other restaurants that serve partial or 100% whole grains or any of the above foods without being deep-fried, or if you know if any of the restaurants listed serve more of these items than have been listed:
