Social Determinant of Health #1 - Food Desert   Food desert (n) - parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas. Two transit stops or 5 miles from fresh food options. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers' markets, and healthy food providers. The American Heart Association recognizes that to make the largest health impact, the AHA must serve as a catalyst to achieve maximum impact in equitable health and wellbeing. To dramatically improve health impact in multicultural communities, we need YOU to advocate for access to healthy foods in your community. Take us home just like National Power Ambassador and Music Executive, Shanti Das does in Take Me Home Ep. 1. Shanti exposes us to her reality of growing up in a food desert and the effects it had in her community.   WATCH TAKE ME HOME EPISODE 1 Now.
