Parsley Health, a digital health company focused on reducing costs for patients with complex and chronic conditions through root cause medicine, has unveiled its collaboration with Daily Harvest, a company dedicated to facilitating the consumption of sustainably-grown fruits and vegetables.
This partnership aims to provide consumers with nourishing, convenient food options that promote the intake of essential nutrients associated with longevity. The offerings include plant antioxidants known for reducing oxidative stress related to aging, polyunsaturated fats to combat inflammation and support heart health and metabolism, as well as ingredients inspired by the world’s healthiest, longest-living populations.
Crafted in conjunction with Parsley Health’s team of leading board-certified functional medicine doctors, Daily Harvest’s Longevity Collection features a variety of enticing options. These include four flavorful Smoothies (such as Acai + Cherry, Avocado + Greens, Strawberry + Cashew, and Blueberry + Cacao), three oat-based Forager Bowls (including Strawberry + Goji Berry, Blueberry + Lemon, and Mulberry + Dragon Fruit), five Harvest Bowls (such as Brussels Sprouts + Tahini, Lentil + Tomato Bolognese, Chickpea + Coconut Curry, Cauliflower Rice + Pesto, and Red Lentil + Cumin), two gluten-free Pasta varieties (White Bean + Spinach Pesto and Zucchini + Gigante Bean Primavera), and two Soups (Tomato + Minestrone Soup and Sweet Potato + Black Bean Chili).
Dr. Robin Berzin, M.D., Founder and Co-CEO of Parsley Health, emphasizes the importance of viewing food as medicine. She highlights the significance of nourishing the body with whole, unprocessed foods to enhance vitality and overall healthspan. Berzin expresses excitement about the collaboration with Daily Harvest, recognizing its potential to help individuals achieve optimal health through nutrition.
The partnership comes at a time when there is a significant gap between Americans’ lifespans and healthspans, largely due to the rise in chronic conditions influenced by dietary habits. Both companies recognize the pivotal role of nutrition in promoting longevity and preventing disease. Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, a nutrition advisor at Daily Harvest, underscores the importance of increasing fruit and vegetable intake while reducing animal protein consumption to mitigate disease risk.
Research indicates that adopting a plant-predominant diet can substantially improve longevity and quality of life. Studies have shown that individuals following a plant-based diet tend to live longer compared to those with traditional dietary habits. Even a modest shift from animal protein to plant protein can lead to notable reductions in the risk of mortality.
Overall, the collaboration between Parsley Health and Daily Harvest aims to empower consumers to make healthier dietary choices that contribute to long-term well-being and vitality.
