21 Mar 2024 --- Providing free, weekly home delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms helped to improve people’s nutrition, physical activity levels and cardiovascular disease risk factors, says a new study presented this week at a conference of the American Heart Association (AHA). Researchers examined participants in Recipe4Health, a program providing free, weekly deliveries of locally grown produce to adults receiving health care at a local Federally Qualified Health Center for 16 weeks. Participants completed surveys on their diet, physical activity level and food insecurity before and after the program.
