Healthy Dining On the Road- It's A Natural

At 103 Hyatt Hotels throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean, the redesigned Cuisine Naturelle menu features eight new entrees including Red Lentil Chili, California Tortilla Sandwich and Poached Salmon on Sicilian Beans. According to noted nutritionist Dr. James Scala, who helped design the menu, eating healthy foods while traveling not only benefits long term health but may also help business travelers and meeting attendees improve their performance.

"These entrees are perfect choices for those who need extra energy, like the CEO flying to town to make an important speech, the sales associate pitching a new multi-million dollar account, the meeting attendee faced with all afternoon and evening sessions or the vacationing couple trying to squeeze a full day of sightseeing into one afternoon," said Dr. Scala, author of Prescription for Longevity.
