π¨ New AHA Scientific Statement π¨
"Food Is Medicine" isn't just a sloganβit's a growing clinical movement. ππ This systematic review of 14 U.S.-based RCTs explores how Produce Prescriptions (PRx), Medically Tailored Groceries (MTG), and Meals (MTM) impact diet, food insecurity, and health outcomes.
π Results show improvements in diet quality and food security, with mixed effects on clinical outcomes.
π§ Key takeaway: We need better-designed, longer-term trials and real-world implementation science to truly integrate food into healthcare.
