Award-winning neighborhood bistro Terra — whose name stems from the Latin word meaning “earth” or “land” — has been highlighting local produce since 2006. Chef Mike Davis sources ingredients from area farmers to prepare fresh and regionally-inspired dishes. Many of which are healthy, too.

For this round of Doctors’ Orders, we’re dining with Dr. David Lee of Lexington Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine.

“For bone and muscle health, it’s important to include plenty of calcium and protein in your diet,” Dr. Lee said. “For a night out at Terra, I would start with the Green Salad — it’s loaded with important vitamins and anti-oxidants that are good for your overall health, and the goat cheese is an excellent source of calcium for bone health.”

“For my main course, I would choose the Crispy Airline Chicken Breast. Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein for healthy muscles, and it’s heart-friendly.”
