While 68% of respondents recognize the importance of healthy eating habits for a long and healthy life, 53% believe that the United States is not making enough progress in making nutritious food more accessible and affordable. The report, released by Deloitte, the American Heart Association, and Research!America, highlights the urgent challenges in integrating nutritious food into healthcare for the prevention, treatment, and care of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. The report also identifies barriers to healthy eating, including cost, knowledge gaps, and difficulty accessing stores that carry nutrient-dense foods, with different groups facing different challenges. The report emphasizes the need for a resilient and adaptive food system and calls for collaboration among stakeholders to improve health outcomes. The American Heart Association is investing in research, advocacy, and education to integrate cost-effective food is medicine approaches into the healthcare system. They are also launching a direct-to-patient registry to improve understanding of the causes and treatments for obesity. The report concludes by urging stakeholders to join efforts in ensuring access to nutritious food for better health. [Extracted from the article]
