Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip:
According to Julie B. Kramer, RD, Registered Dietitian at Northwell Health, "A healthy diet reduces inflammation. Most illnesses are caused by an immune response to inflammation. Eating a healthy, whole-food diet with a focus on fresh produce is an effective preventative measure against many long-term illnesses—think diabetes and heart disease—as well as short-term, acute illnesses like COVID-19. Diets rich in red meat, processed foods, and added sugars have been linked to an increase in inflammation and a weakened immune response." Click here to learn more.

MAKE A FOOD DONATION
WITH PFM-O THIS WEEK!

To support efforts to ease food insecurity during the winter months PFM-O has a donation option on the 3rd Saturday of each month. So this week, between Tuesday, 7pm and Thursday, 7pm when setting up your preorders you can also donate $10, $20 or $30 as well to the Pleasantville Community Garden. They'll use your donation to purchase produce and nonperishable items and then see those are delivered to families and individuals that are food insecure in our area.
