New Daily Harvest Longevity Collection created
to close the gap between ‘lifespan’ and ‘healthspan.’
Parsley Health, the digital health company designed to lower
costs in patients with complex and chronic conditions using root
cause medicine, today announced its partnership with Daily Harvest,
the company on a mission to make it easy to eat more
sustainably-grown fruits and vegetables.
The partnership aims to supply consumers with nourishing,
easy-to-prep food that bolsters consumption of key nutrients that
may be tied to longevity. Consumers can expect plant antioxidants
linked with reducing the oxidative stress tied to aging,
polyunsaturated fats for combating inflammation and supporting
heart health and metabolism, and ingredients inspired by the
world’s healthiest, longest-living populations.
Created in partnership with the team of top, board-certified,
functional medicine doctors at Parsley Health, Daily Harvest’s
Longevity Collection includes four delectable Smoothies (Acai +
Cherry, Avocado + Greens, Strawberry + Cashew, Blueberry + Cacao);
three oat-based Forager Bowls (Strawberry + Goji Berry, Blueberry +
Lemon, Mulberry + Dragon Fruit); five Harvest Bowls (Brussels
Sprouts + Tahini, Lentil + Tomato Bolognese, Chickpea + Coconut
Curry, Cauliflower Rice + Pesto, Red Lentil + Cumin); two
gluten-free Pastas (White Bean + Spinach Pesto, Zucchini + Gigante
Bean Primavera); and two Soups (Tomato + Minestrone Soup, Sweet
Potato + Black Bean Chili).
“Everywhere we turn there’s a new way to ‘hack your health.’ But
the easiest way to be healthy is to know that food is medicine.
When you fuel your body with whole, unrefined, unprocessed foods
you give your body the building blocks it needs to generate
vitality today and a greater healthspan tomorrow. At Parsley we’ve
helped tens of thousands of people use food alongside medication to
achieve optimal health and that’s why we are so excited to partner
with Daily Harvest for this Longevity Collection,” said Dr. Robin
Berzin, M.D., Founder and Co-CEO of Parsley Health.
On average, there is a 9 to 10-year gap between Americans’
lifespans (the total number of years lived) and healthspans (the
total number of years lived healthy and free from disease).
According to the CDC, part of the reason for the widening gap
between lifespan and healthspan is the rise in chronic conditions.
Though widely prevalent, chronic conditions, which are often
affected by dietary choices, can be preventable and reversible.
"Good nutrition is at the core of longevity and the foods you
consume daily significantly impact your health. We know from
research that increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables while
lowering the consumption of animal protein can significantly lower
the risk of disease. We are thrilled to partner with Parsley Health
on this collection of delicious and easy-to-prep meals and snacks
for practically any time of the day," said Carolina Schneider, MS,
RD, nutrition advisor at Daily Harvest.
Research suggests that eating a plant-predominant diet, rich in
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, can
significantly improve longevity and quality of life. In fact, those
consuming a plant-based diet seem to live longer than those who
don’t. A study showed that men consuming a plant-predominant,
vegetarian diet lived 10 years longer than those consuming a
traditional diet, while women following a vegetarian diet lived six
years longer. Another large study found that shifting as little as
3% of daily calories from animal protein to plant protein lowered
the risk of death by 10%.
