What is it? A ready-to-eat food delivery service that uses scientific research and an AI recipe generator to create anti-inflammatory vegan meals targeted towards improving areas like your immune system, cognitive function and cholesterol levels.
Who’s behind it? Former head of affairs at pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Sakshi Chhabra Mittal. When pregnant with her first child, she developed obstetric cholestasis – a liver condition that can increase the risk of stillbirth – and managed to control her symptoms by changing her diet, which inspired the ‘food is medicine’ idea for Foodhak.
Why you’ll love it: Too busy to cook all the time, but still want to eat nutritious food that doesn’t compromise on taste and helps to optimise your health? Browse more than 40 dishes inspired by Indian, Spanish and Japanese cuisine that are clearly labelled with their health benefits, then choose your portion size and delivery options. “Foodhak is trying to biohack your health with food,” Mittal explains to Stylist Loves. “We look through a lot of clinical research and alongside the chefs, we talk about swaps we can make in dishes to make them more gut-friendly or more beneficial for heart health.” The team use an AI recipe generator which looks at ingredient swaps, and while all the dishes are plant-based, they try to use more alkaline vegetables as they’re easier to digest. Once your box arrives, the dishes only take a few minutes to prepare – and they’re not lacking in flavour. “We’re a team of foodies and so we spend a lot of time perfecting the taste of dishes,” says Mittal.
