Five dollar foot-longs: good for the heart?
Well, kind of. Earlier this summer the American Heart Association put its stamp of
approval on certain Subway meals, crowning the sub shop the first fast-food chain
to don the “Heart-Check” logo on its menu.
While the whole menu isn’t fair
game, some of your favorite sandwiches like the black forest ham, oven
roasted chicken, and subway club on 9-grain bread—at 6 inches—meet the American
Heart Association’s standards for amounts of calories, sodium, cholesterol,
saturated fat, and trans fat. (Want to drop pounds eating delicious restaurant

Shocked? Heart-healthy foods don’t have to
mean boring oatmeal and dry salmon. Here are three more that may surprise you.
