Healthy Eating Tip of the Month December 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020)

Plan and prepare meals with fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, grains, and oils.

Eat a variety of healthy foods every day. Choose several foods from each category at meal time.

Eat less foods that have added sugars, saturated and trans fat, and sodium. Healthy Home Meal Delivery Services Help Meet Recommendations & Improve Health

13% of U.S households are food insecure (2019).

Food insecurity means not having regular, dependable access to enough food for an active and healthy lifestyle.

Being food insecure can result in poorer health and more trips to the hospital and emergency room.

Healthy home meal delivery services can improve food security, food quality, and both mental and physical health.

Services offering meals following specific diets can help you manage your specific health condition.

For example, eating diabetic-friendly meals twice a day from a home meal delivery service may help someone with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels and A1C. When to Consider Healthy Home Meal Delivery Services
