Providers can refer these patients to sustainable sources of healthy food — a food pantry or a cooking course, to name a few — and observe how they respond.</p>\r\n<p>“Like many medications, it’s not enough for a patient to eat a single healthy meal and expect to feel better instantly,” says Dr. Fiechtner. “Patients with chronic diseases need to know how they’ll find their next healthy meal tomorrow, next month, or next year. As a health system, it’s up to us to present that path.”</p>\r\n<h2>How do health care providers identify food insecurity?</h2>\r\n<p>Patients who visit a Mass General Brigham primary care clinic receive screenings for food insecurity as part of a broader screen for social drivers/determinants of health (SDOH). These screenings are administered prior to routine primary care visits, and also to patients admitted to the system’s hospitals.</p>\r\n<p>Mass General Brigham <a href=\"/content/mgb-global/global/en/about/newsroom/articles/community-care-vans.html\">Community Care Vans</a>, which bring providers into at-risk communities for screenings and treatment, offer screenings for food insecurity, too.</p>\r\n<p>Mass General Brigham encourages providers to consider social drivers of health during their evaluation. These reflect how social conditions and environments affect a patient’s health, including impacting access to nutritious food.</p>\r\n<p>Social drivers of health include where people are:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Born</li>\r\n<li>Live</li>\r\n<li>Learn</li>\r\n<li>Work</li>\r\n<li>Play</li>\r\n<li>Worship</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Barriers to healthy foods</h2>\r\n<p>Food security and nutrition security are not the same. People with food security have enough to eat. Those with food security may have consistent access to foods. But certain drivers of health may prevent them from accessing nutritious foods that can that promote well-being and prevent, or even treat, disease.</p>\r\n<p>“You can have plenty of food security but little-to-no nutrition security,” says Dr. Taveras. “You can have all the <a href=\"/content/mgb-global/global/en/about/newsroom/articles/sugary-drinks-liver-disease.html\">sugary drinks</a> and processed meats in the world, but if you don’t have access to vegetables, dairy, grains, and healthy fats, then what good is that?”</p>\r\n<p>Many Americans do not know where they will find their next meal, never mind whether that meal exceeds their daily limit for added sugars or fats.

According to Dr. Wang, individuals may not feel comfortable sharing this information with their health care providers directly, or experience stigma from others if they are accessing food-related benefits (formerly known as “food stamps”).</li> <li><b>COVID-19 pandemic: </b>School closures prevented children from participating in federally funded meal plans. Closed businesses, disrupted supply chains, and inflation led to unemployment and skyrocketed the cost of food.</li> </ul> <p>“The financial repercussions of the pandemic will last at least 5 to 10 years,” says Dr. Fiechtner. “People have less money and are less willing to donate to food banks while lines at food pantries are only growing longer.”</p> <h2>How does food insecurity affect chronic health conditions?</h2> <p>According to USDA’s <a href="https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/sites/default/files/2020-12/DGA_2020-2025_ExecutiveSummary_English.pdf?mc_cid=46ba1a1e81&mc_eid=UNIQID#:~:text=Today%2C%20more%20than%20half%20of%20adults%20have%20one,those%20who%20are%20at%20risk%20of%20chronic%20disease." target="_blank">2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans</a>, nutrition-related chronic diseases, or long-term illnesses from unhealthy eating habits, affect about half of American adults. A few of the most common chronic health conditions linked to poor nutrition include:</p> <ul> <li>Cardiovascular disease</li> <li>High-blood pressure (<a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/hypertension-signs-symptoms">hypertension</a>)</li> <li>Type 2 <a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/what-is-diabetes">diabetes</a></li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/obesity-associated-risks-cause-disease">Obesity</a></li> </ul> <p>Food can also impact:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/foods-that-improve-memory">Memory</a></li> <li>The risk of <a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/foods-that-help-prevent-stroke">stroke</a></li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/worst-foods-for-high-cholesterol">Cholesterol</a></li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/parkinsons-disease-diet">Parkinson’s disease</a></li> <li>Polycystic ovary syndrome (<a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/nutrition-for-pcos">PCOS</a>)</li> </ul> <h3>Can foods prevent chronic conditions?</h3> <p>Yes. All foods contain nutrients, or chemicals that help the body function. Generally, there are two types of nutrients:</p> <ol> <li><b>Macronutrients:</b> Large nutrients made of complex molecules, such as fats, proteins, and carbohydrates</li> <li><b>Micronutrients:</b> Small nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, that help the body grow and develop</li> </ol> <p>Plant-based foods — foods from the ground or trees — possess the right balance of both nutrients. For people 2 years and older, the <a href="https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2021/1100/p533.html#:~:text=At%20least%20one-half%20of%20food%20eaten%20should%20be,one-half%20of%20grain%20servings%20should%20be%20whole%20grains." target="_blank">U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services</a> recommend making fruit and vegetables, especially whole fruits and vegetables of different colors, one half of their total food eaten.</p> <p>They recommend the other half consist of:</p> <ul> <li>Grains</li> <li>Dairy</li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/how-much-protein-when-working-out">Protein</a></li> <li>Oils with lower saturated fat</li> </ul> <h3>Can foods increase the risk for chronic conditions?</h3> <p>Certain foods can heighten the risk for chronic diseases or worsen existing conditions. These include foods and drinks high in:</p> <ul> <li>Added sugars, such as sugary drinks (sports drinks or soda, to name a few)</li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/dietary-fat-and-heart-disease">Saturated fat</a>, such as butter, beef, and some baked or fried foods</li> <li>Sodium, such as deli meat sandwiches, pizza, and <a href="https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/articles/are-eggs-heart-healthy">egg</a> dishes</li> <li><a href="/en/about/newsroom/articles/how-alcohol-impacts-your-body">Alcohol</a>, such as beer, wine, and liquor</li> </ul> <p>Moreover, processed foods and certain red meats can trigger inflammation — the immune system’s response to damaged tissue — throughout the body. <a href="https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2021/red-meat-colorectal-cancer-genetic-signature" target="_blank">Numerous studies</a> link diets with lots of red and processed meats with colorectal cancer.</p> <p>“I’ve had patients tell me that when they eat a ‘cleaner’ diet, they physically feel better,” says Dr. Wang. “There is a connection between our environment, what we eat, our gut microbiome (the bacteria that live in our gut), and overall gut health.”</p> <h2>How does Food is Medicine address food insecurity?</h2> <p>Mass General Brigham relies on partnerships with the Greater Boston Food Bank and food services from community organizations across Massachusetts to dismantle barriers to healthy foods.</p> </div> </div> <div class="media-teaser global-extended-teaser teaser aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="teaser-6bcdda39fa" class="cmp-teaser" data-cmp-data-layer="{"teaser-6bcdda39fa":{"@type":"core/wcm/components/teaser/v2/teaser","repo:modifyDate":"2024-09-20T15:02:07Z","dc:description":"<p>Lauren Fiechtner, MD, MPH<br>\r\nDirector, Pediatric Nutrition Center<br>\r\nMass General for Children</p>\r\n"}}"> <div class="cmp-teaser__content"> <blockquote class="cmp-teaser__quote"> <div class="cmp-teaser_quote-icon"></div> <div class="cmp-teaser__title">Food insecurity is a chronic condition.
