Did you know that heart disease is the number one cause of death for men and women in the United States? Eating a healthy diet is one important way you can help prevent heart disease. Boar’s Head ensures that their products are certified heart-healthy deli meats. This means that their premium quality deli meats meet criteria for fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, low sodium and more.
A heart-healthy diet does not mean you have to sacrifice flavor. There are dozens of flavor varieties of Boar’s Head heart-healthy deli meats to love. My favorites include the Mesquite Wood Smoked Roasted Turkey Breast and All Natural Applewood Smoked Uncured Ham.
It is easy to incorporate Boar’s Head deli meats into delicious main dishes like EverRoast Chicken Quinoa Pilaf. The recipe below is made with EverRoast Oven Roasted Chicken Breast and can help you enjoy a heart-healthy lifestyle.
