What you eat has a profound effect on your health. In fact, food is one of the most impactful factors in a person’s overall health and wellness. That's why the research consistently shows that dietary habits not only influence disease risk but also have the ability to offer strong protective qualities against acute and chronic conditions. For example: 🥕 A study by Tufts University found that a 30% Medicare and Medicaid subsidy for fresh vegetables and fruit could prevent 300,000+ premature deaths from cardiovascular events. 🥕 A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that offering nationwide medically tailored meal benefits to individuals with diabetes, heart disease, or cancer could save more than $180 billion in medical costs. 🥕 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina published data in the New England Journal of Medicine that found members with Type 2 diabetes in Affordable Care Act plans could save $139 in total medical costs per member per month if they were enrolled in a food as medicine delivery program. Of course, knowing this information doesn’t always translate into eating foods that are best for you. Schedules get busy. Stress happens. And it’s not always clear what’s good for you and what’s not. That’s why through the FoodHealth Score at the digital food farmacy, we do our best to make the healthy choice, the easy choice.
