HACKETTSTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nutrition for Longevity, a unique farm-to-table meal delivery service focused on delicious, high-quality, nutrient-dense meals using organic farming practices, has announced its approval as a provider of Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) under NJ Family Care, Medicaid and Medicare health plans in New Jersey.
Medically tailored meals (MTM) are meals approved by a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) which reflect appropriate evidence-based guidelines for dietary therapy for individuals living with severe illness or disabilities. As an official MTM provider, healthcare practitioners can now prescribe Nutrition for Longevity meals to NJ Family Care, Medicaid and Medicare patients residing in New Jersey. Recipients typically receive 7-14 meals per delivery for up to one-year with 100% reimbursement and thereafter, can get reassessed for continued eligibility. “As an advocate for better nutrition for all, I am proud we are able to offer a science-backed solution that makes a nutrient-rich diet as simple and convenient as possible”, said Jennifer Maynard, Nutrition for Longevity’s CEO and Co-Founder. “Access to healthy food is a right – not a privilege – and we will continue to strive for improving the way people eat, including ease of access to these foods, to support healthspan and quality of life”. With Nutrition for Longevity, Medically Tailored Meals do not simply mean putting someone on a diet, but rather providing high-quality, farm to table ingredients that support vitality, wellness and strength to a population that may have limited access to these foods.
Under the guidance of in-house registered dietitians, meals are designed and prepared to be high in fruits and vegetables, healthy grains, low in sodium and saturated fat to support heart health, in addition to being low-glycemic with a balance of macronutrients to support optimal blood sugar control naturally. Lunch options include satisfying meals such as fully prepared salads and vegetarian chilis and plant-forward dinners that are easily heated for fresh, homemade style meals packed with nutrition and flavor. Food is also delivered in recyclable, eco-friendly packaging to support environmental health.
With chef-curated and globally-influenced plant-based meal plans, Nutrition for Longevity offers meals that are suitable for a variety of dietary and cultural preferences including gluten free, vegan, pescatarian, flexitarian and coming soon – the first tailored meal delivery service to offer certified kosher and halal options.
