FOOD & NUTRITION

Why is Food and Nutrition Important?
Food as Fuel:  Imagine your body as a car. The food you eat is like the fuel you put in the tank. The right kind of fuel keeps your car running smoothly, while the wrong kind can lead to problems. The food you eat plays a huge role in how you feel. Eating healthy can help you:

  • Maintain a healthy weight.
  • Fight off illness.
  • Have more energy.
  • Improve mood and focus.
  • Manage chronic health conditions. 
Here’s how SOMOS network providers can help:
We understand that everyone’s situation is different. Here’s how SOMOS can work with you on food and nutrition:
  • Nutrition Counseling: Create a healthy eating plan that fits your budget, tastes, and any health conditions you have.
  • Food Assistance Programs: We can connect you with programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or our local food bank partners that can help put food on your table.
  • Transportation and Meal Delivery: If transportation is a challenge, there may be programs that can help you get groceries or even deliver healthy meals to your home.
  • Cooking Classes and Workshops: Learn new ways to cook healthy and delicious meals on a budget.

Remember, small changes add up to big results!

We are committed to supporting you on your journey to healthy eating.

HOUSING

A Safe and Stable Home: How Housing Impacts Your Health and Wellbeing.
Did you know having a safe and stable place to live can improve your health? It is true! Here’s why housing is an important part of your overall well-being:
  • Reduced Stress: Stable housing reduces stress, which can worsen chronic health conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease.
  • Improved Health Behaviors: A secure home environment makes focusing on healthy habits like cooking nutritious meals or getting enough sleep easier.
  • Better Access to Care: Having a permanent address ensures you receive important health information and can easily schedule appointments.
  • Reduced Hospitalizations: Studies show unstable housing can lead to more frequent hospital stays.

These health risks can be even worse because of everyday challenges like not having enough money, trouble finding healthy food, and feeling stressed all the time.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Taking Care of your mind helps your body!

Your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! They’re actually connected in many ways.

Ever feel like stress is making you sick? You’re not alone! Your mind and body are connected in powerful ways. Mental health conditions can sometimes make it harder to manage chronic health problems like diabetes or heart disease. Here’s how your mental health can impact your physical health:

  • Feeling Run Down: When you’re stressed, anxious, or depressed, your body releases hormones that can make you feel tired, achy, or even get headaches. It can also weaken your immune system, making you more likely to catch colds or flu.
  • Trouble Sleeping: Mental health struggles can disrupt your sleep, leaving you feeling exhausted during the day. This lack of rest can worsen your mood and make it harder to manage daily tasks.

  • Unhealthy Habits: Feeling down can make it harder to motivate yourself to eat healthily, exercise, or take care of yourself. This can lead to weight gain, poor nutrition, and a higher risk of chronic health problems.

  •
