Healthy Foods to Help You Heal: Just the thought of hospital food can make a person feel a little sick, but there's a movement underway to change that. Hospitals are increasingly rethinking their menus, abandoning those salty (but otherwise tasteless) broths, quivering cubes of gelatin and beige foods, and instead they're embracing healthier fare like fresh fruits and vegetables and sustainable, locally grown foods. "Good food can help speed the healing process, and hospitals can be really good models," Lucia Sayre, co-executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility, tells U.S. News. What's more, adds dietitian Susan Levin, who works with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, providing healthy foods on those trays is "probably the best opportunity in educating the patient in how not to return."
