Health in OKC
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Oklahoma. Oklahoma County consistently ranks low on major health statistics like the incidence of heart disease and high blood pressure. These statistics indicate that Oklahomans could do more to prioritize their health.
Distinct dishes
OKC is home to plenty of signature dishes: smoked bologna, chicken-fried steak, fried okra, and a classic “set-up” of chips and dips. In fact, there are so many Oklahoman foods that the official state meal includes 13 different dishes. While delicious, this leaves some room for improvement when it comes to nourishing food.

OKC is an evolving city with a bustling nightlife, an up-and-coming food scene, and plenty of outdoor activity options. However, it is a car-dependent city. Combined with the local cuisine, this can make prioritizing health difficult. Your Fay RD can help you create a more balanced lifestyle and meet your health goals.
