❤️ Your Blood Pressure Matters ❤️

Did you know that simply monitoring and managing your blood pressure can significantly reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and even memory loss? Researchers found that keeping blood pressure under control can lower the risk of major cardiovascular events by 30–40% and may reduce the risk of dementia by nearly 20%. 

At The Food Mill, we believe healthy living starts with healthy choices. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and potassium-rich foods while limiting excess sodium can help support healthy blood pressure levels. Regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress also play an important role. 

Take a moment today to check your blood pressure, schedule your annual wellness visit, and make small changes that can have a lasting impact on your health.

Your future self will thank you. 💙

Did you know that food insecurity impacts more than just health?
Emerging research shows a strong connection between food insecurity, neighborhood crime, and overall community well-being. When families lack reliable access to nutritious food, communities often experience increased stress, reduced economic stability, and greater barriers to health and safety. Researchers are calling for food security to be recognized as an important factor in creating safer, healthier neighborhoods.

At The Food Mill Columbus, we believe access to healthy food is about more than filling a pantry—it's about strengthening families, supporting children, improving health outcomes, and helping build thriving communities.

Every bag of produce distributed, every nutrition class taught, and every family served is an investment in a stronger Columbus.

Together, we can address hunger, improve health, and create positive change.

💚 Join us in the fight against food insecurity.

☀️🍎 Summer is here, and that means it’s time for Cooking Matters at The Food Mill!

We are excited to be spending the summer helping young people learn healthy eating habits through Cooking Matters, an obesity prevention curriculum created by Share Our Strength.

This kid-friendly, age-appropriate program teaches children valuable life skills through hands-on cooking experiences, nutrition education, and fun activities that encourage healthy food choices. Our goal is to empower kids with the knowledge and confidence to make nutritious decisions that can benefit them for a lifetime.

This summer, we are proud to be partnering with Girls Inc. and Victory Mission to provide Cooking Matters summer camps for local youth.

We can’t wait to see our future chefs learning, growing, and discovering that healthy food can be delicious too! 🥕🍓👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
