?? March is National Nutrition Month! ?? This month, we’re celebrating the power of food—not just as nourishment but as a way to connect, heal, and thrive. Research shows that eating together has profound health benefits, including: ? Better nutrition – More whole foods, fewer ultra-processed meals ? Lower risk of disordered eating – Encourages mindful habits and balanced choices ? Improved digestion – Reduces stress and enhances nutrient absorption ? Stronger mental health – Social meals help lower anxiety and promote belonging This year’s theme, “Food Connects Us,” reminds us that shared meals are about more than just eating—they build community, tradition, and well-being. Read our recent blog post for tips on how eating together can improve lives! https://lnkd.in/efrgZHyH Let’s make mealtime more social this month! Whether it’s a cozy dinner with family or a potluck with friends, every shared meal is a step toward better health and happiness. #NationalNutritionMonth #FoodAsMedicine #FoodConnectsUs #HealthyLiving #Wellness #MindfulEating #CommunityHealth

?? Exciting News: Recognized for Our Work in the Healthy Opportunities Pilot! We’re honored to receive a certificate of recognition from Access East for our participation in the Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP) in North Carolina! ?? What is the Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP)? Funded by North Carolina Medicaid, HOP is the first of its kind initiative to test whether non-medical services—like nutritious meals, housing support, and transportation—can improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. At Tangelo, we’re proud to be an approved food provider, delivering medically tailored meals to Medicaid members with chronic conditions and nutrition insecurity. Why This Matters: ? Nutrition is healthcare—80% of health outcomes are tied to social factors like food access. ? Programs like HOP show that food-as-medicine works, reducing hospital visits and improving well-being. ? We’re committed to partnering with health plans and providers to scale these efforts nationwide. Thank you, Access East, for this recognition! If you're a provider, clinic, or health plan looking to bring food-as-medicine to your members, let’s connect. ??

???Food Prices on the Rise—But Not All Foods Are Affected Equally The?CBS News price tracker?highlights how food prices have changed over time, revealing an interesting trend: Many?low-quality diet staples—such as steak, bacon, sugar, and soda—have seen?significant price hikes. Meanwhile,?higher-quality foods?like bananas, oranges, and dried beans have remained?more stable in price. This raises an important question: Could shifting towards more nutrient-dense, less inflation-impacted foods be a smart strategy to help your patients improve their #DietQuality to combat Chronic Diseases?

Diet quality is the single strongest predictor of chronic disease risk, yet standard assessment tools often fail to account for the rich diversity of dietary patterns across cultures. That changes today. We are proud to announce the publication of a new research report in?Frontiers in Nutrition?introducing Adaptive Component Scoring (ACS)—a groundbreaking methodology that enhances the widely used Healthy Eating Index (HEI) to measure diet quality --without cultural bias. For too long, diet quality scoring methods have penalized many nutrient-dense dietary patterns simply because they exclude certain food groups, like dairy or grains. ACS ensures that diverse, time-honored diets are assessed fairly, paving the way for more inclusive nutrition research, equitable healthcare solutions, and better Food-as-Medicine interventions. What does this mean for healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers? ? A more fair and accurate way to measure and improve diet quality ? Standardized assessment that respects cultural traditions ? A powerful tool for advancing nutrition equity in clinical and public health settings Read the full report linked below ?? to see how ACS is shaping the future of diet quality assessment.
