Organization of Community Wellness Leaders Endorses Feasts of Persia\u2019s Health & Wellness Initiatives<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Feasts of Persia, a local meal delivery service offering a Mediterranean diet, and a nutrition expert-approved menu, is proud to announce the noteworthy results of customers subscribing to their meal plans, leading to an endorsement by Polk Wellness Professionals, a local organization supporting Polk Vision\u2019s and the Florida Department of Health\u2019s\u00a0Building a Healthier Polk<\/em>\u00a0community-wide initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 10, 2025, Polk Wellness Professionals voted to endorse Fuel Our Power and accepted Feasts of Persia as one of its newest members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data-Based Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers who took part in the Fuel Our Power Mediterranean Lifestyle 30-Day Challenge, which combined nourishing cuisine, fitness and mindset coaching, nutrition counseling, and medical care, accomplished significant improvements in both weight loss and key health indicators, as tracked by medical professionals from Lyndsay Health. Customers were challenged to eat solely from Feasts of Persia\u2019s 3-meals-as-day meal plan and to exercise at least 3 times a week for one month under the guidance of Coach Corbett, LLC. Challengers were further supported by Nutrition Reset and Dawn DiMicco, Mental Performance Coach. Improvements from the challenge included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Up to 16. 2 pounds lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Up to 13.74 total inches lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 LDL (\u201cbad\u201d cholesterol) reduced by 22%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 10-year cardiovascular risk factor (chance of heart attack, stroke, or even death) reduced from greater than 50% down to 20%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A customer outside of the \u201clifestyle\u201d plan and only subscribing to a 2-meals-a-day meal plan also reported a monumental improvement in his glucose and hemoglobin A1c, bringing him to the \u201c100% normal\u201d range for the first time in over 15 years. This customer had been a type 2 diabetic for 15+ years, insulin-dependent for 8+ years, and has been on tirzepatide (common brand name \u201cMounjaro\u201d or Ozempic\u201d) for the past 2 years. For the purpose of screening for the presence of diabetes, this customer\u2019s lab results yielded numbers in the range \u201cconsistent with the absence of diabetes.\u201d This customer credits his change to the Feasts of Persia meal plan as the sole factor contributing to these improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these data-based results, customers reported better flexibility, mobility, and performance, improving their fitness and lifestyle, as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a Healthier Polk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2012, the Building a Healthier Polk Initiative began as a community-driven response to the startling obesity rates in Polk County. With obesity directly linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes which are major causes of death and preventable hospital stays, the data galvanized a movement among stakeholders across Polk County. Working cooperatively with the Florida Department of Health, Polk Vision convened a large cross-sector group of subject matter experts to prioritize objectives in addressing the alarming rate of obesity in our community. This group came to be known as Building a Healthier Polk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
