Original: Do food-is-medicine programs work long term? Study links weekly groceries to lower blood pressure
A new study examines whether food-is-medicine programs deliver lasting health benefits, finding that participants receiving weekly groceries experienced lower blood pressure. The research feeds an ongoing debate over whether prescribing nutritious food can substitute for medication and whether such interventions remain effective over the long term, a key question as health systems and insurers weigh expanding coverage for these programs.
Why now: New research offers evidence on the long-term effectiveness of food-as-medicine interventions, a growing area of health policy interest.
