New kitty alert!

10/11/2024

We are migrating to this new page for LifeSpring so please go 👍 & Follow🍎Lifespring Home Nutrition🍎so we can safely delete the one with MEALS at the end of Lifespring Homenutrition. The one WITHOUT the word “meals” at the end is the NEW one. But it’s not really new✨new…

I started these pages over 10 years ago on Facebook which only rolled out corporate pages 14 years ago. My mom had started delivering healthy meals to the home aka Susan’s Healthy Gourmet in 1995 and we even built one of the very first, if not the first, online healthy-meals-to-the-home ordering websites in the world. THEN we started LifeSpring Home Nutrition, again one of the first, if not the first, Medically Tailored Meal delivery to your home in 2003.

And look at the healthy & Medically Tailored Meal movement NOW!

So being that I am her daughter and that I know anyone who knew my mom or ordered her healthy meals ( I recognize a lot of you so hello yay and hope you are all well) would appreciate carrying on Susan Johnson’s Legacy. Her life’s mission was helping young professionals, busy moms or anyone who wanted to lose weight or eat healthier but didn’t have the time or knowledge to do it themselves. My life’s mission is to help those with chronic illnesses, those in need of transplants or surgery and our aging population plus hard to get to, residents in the countryside or rural areas; get meals right for them, at the right time, in the right way.

It’s all about helping people and doing the right thing because it’s who you are AND because you can. Thank you to both sets of customers for the many years of support 🙏 it is now time to join you ❤️

LifeSpring Home Nutrition helps people prevent mental health issues by providing nutritious home-delivered meals and education on how diet impacts mental health.

LifeSpring Home Nutrition encourages people to develop healthy relationships with food, and eat the right foods to improve mental health.

✨ It’s Motivational Monday! ✨

Turn your food into medicine, and then you won't need medicines anymore 🩷

This basically means that the better and healthier foods that you eat - then the healthier you will be! 💚

In these instances, sometimes you will not need your medicine anymore. 😊

For example, if you are prediabetic and improve your nutritional health and exercise a bit, then you can stave off diabetes. 😄

Have a healthy week! 🩷💚🩷

“The Role of Medically Tailored Meals in Chronic Disease Management” 💚

Chronic health conditions affect millions of people each year. Adults over the age of 55 have an increased risk of being diagnosed with one or more chronic diseases.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Women in all age groups are more likely than men to have one or more, two or more, or three or more chronic conditions.”

LifeSpring Home Nutrition fills in the gaps in healthcare by offering home-delivered medically tailored meals (MTMs), nutritional education, and information about community-based resources.

Home-delivered meals support chronic disease management, allowing people to live healthier and more fulfilling lives.

To learn more about how we, here at LifeSpring Home Nutrition, can help you manage your chronic health conditions via our nutritious medically tailored meal programs, please call us today at 949-833-2920.

Check out this Common Nutritional Myth, Debunked: ✔️

Myth: You need to drink a gallon of water every day

False:
Each person’s hydration status is extremely individualized. Most folks may need about 64 ounces of water (8 cups of 8 oz water), but this varies widely according to the individual.

A typical bottle of water is 16.9 ounces, so that means one would need to drink 3.5 bottles of water within a 24 hr period. (To meet the 64 oz goal)

Staying hydrated is important.

Remember that part of the fluids your body needs is also absorbed by eating fruits, vegetables and other high-water content foods.

If you are unsure how much water that your body needs, speak with your doctor about it.

Our LifeSpring Homenutrition Meals management team attended the California Recuperative Care Symposium Event last week in Sacramento. 🩵

The National Institute for Medical Respite Care (NIMRC), a special program of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC), hosted this inaugural California Recuperative Care Symposium, which was sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.

Recuperative Care, also known as Medical Respite Care, is recognized as a bridge between homelessness and interim housing.

With the introduction of CalAIM in 2022, Recuperative Care programs are developing across California at an astounding rate.

NIMRC elevates the growing practice of Recuperative Care as an integral component of our mission to build an equitable, high-quality health care system.

NIMRC showcased promising practices, program models, and examples of leadership at this event celebrating Recuperative Care services in California.

LifeSpring Home Nutrition fits this model of course by offering food and nutritious meals to those struggling on Medi-Cal and CalAim.

We look forward to continuing our mission of offering nutritious meals to our underserved communities, thereby helping the homeless crisis in transition. 🙏🏼🩷💚🩷

2 Beans
3 Low-fat cottage cheese
4 Dark leafy greens
5 Berries

Check out this Common Nutritional Myth, Debunked: ✔️

Myth: If you want to eat healthy, you should only shop the perimeter of the grocery store.

False!

The Truth is:
