new mothers Finland’s baby boxes for new mothers are going global

All new mothers in Finland receive a maternity package for themselves and their newborn babies. The practice was introduced in 1938 when the infant mortality rate in the country was 65 deaths per 1,000 births. Today that figure stands at 1.3 deaths per 1,000 births one of the lowest in the world; the U.S. scores high with 6.5 deaths per 1,000 births. The baby box is filled with useful items from diapers to nipple cream. The concept is now going global, and soon all new mothers in New Jersey and Canada will receive a baby box. The key to the box is not actually the box, but the education that parents are required to get before they are given the box paid for with government money.    READ MORE

The food-as-medicine movement is taking shape in different forms such as the “Shop with Your Doc” program, which sends doctors to local grocery stores to help guide customers towards healthy, inexpensive alternatives to processed foods. Another way doctors are helping people is by prescribing nutritional changes that can help prevent, limit or even reverse diseases by changing what patients eat. Although the power food isn’t always enough to prevent illnesses, dietary changes can play a major role in maintaining good overall health. READ MORE
