The Quality of Your Health can Depend on Where You Live
Thursday, March 12, 2009 by: Marianne Leigh, citizen journalist
(NaturalNews) Researchers have known for years of the connection between race and income and healthy eating. And lately, as our society struggles with issues of racial inequality and financial turmoil, news articles have been making the connection between healthy eating and avoiding disease.
In the midst of all this, a recent study from Johns Hopkins` Bloomberg School of Public Health has made a major breakthrough. Researchers found a strong correlation between where you live and the quality of your diet, and identified a lack of healthy food in lower-income neighborhoods as one cause of poor diet.
Taking a cross-sectional approach, the diet of 759 participants was examined using a `food frequency` questionnaire. The results were then compared to the availability of healthy food in stores less than one mile from the home of each participant. 226 stores in 159 neighborhoods were visited to determine the presence of healthy staples like fresh fruit and vegetables, skim milk and whole wheat bread.
While the results were predictable on a qualitative level, the size of the disparity between communities was surprising.
Almost half of lower-income and predominantly African-American neighborhoods had a low availability of healthy food, or 46 percent and 43 percent respectively.
Comparatively, only 13 percent of higher-income and 4 percent of predominantly white neighborhoods had a low availability. Furthermore, the higher-income and predominantly white neighborhoods with a lack of healthy food still had higher amounts than the lower-income or predominantly African-American neighborhoods.
The study rightly concludes that residents of lower-income and predominantly African-American communities have more difficulty putting healthy food on the table because of an absence of it in neighborhood stores. But this revelation is only the latest addition to a long list of disadvantages lower income and minority communities can face.
Households residing in lower-income communities have smaller food budgets and yet research has shown that food prices in these neighborhoods are consistently higher. Also as much as a quarter of low-income households do not own a car, and cannot easily shop for food beyond their immediate neighborhoods.
But while the terms `neighborhood` and `household` can be effective ways to package and communicate research data, they tend to obscure the most critical aspect of these findings. We can easily forget that these neighborhoods are peopled not only by adults but also by children who are subject to even greater health risks from poor diet than adults. Children living in poverty have repeatedly been shown to have higher levels of risk factors for diabetes, low fitness, obesity and energy insufficiency levels (problems that without intervention or dramatic change become increasingly serious over time).
Children`s bodies are actively developing with nutritional and energetic needs much higher than adults`. With their physiological and metabolic processes being set, the development of their vital organs and nervous system in full swing, the damage that a poor diet will do to the health of a child is often permanent. If you consider that a child`s body size and composition are constantly growing, being `built` with what is eaten or breathed, the phrase `you are what you eat` gains a whole new dimension.
Another children`s health issue directly affected by diet quality is lead poisoning. Long-term damage from lead is believed to be a result of the absorption of it into body tissues like the nervous system from the blood and not from the exposure itself. A low-fat healthy diet rich in iron and calcium can facilitate the elimination of lead contamination from the blood thereby lessening the effects of the exposure. Seen in this light, therefore, a healthy diet not only gives a child the necessary building blocks to be a healthy adult, it can actually protect him/her from environmental contaminants.
There is a certain amount of hope in the fact that researchers are asking pertinent questions and finding clear results. Decisive action, after all, begins with knowledge. With so much effort being made today to improve the developmental opportunities of children from all socio-economic backgrounds, findings like these alarm us, but they also provide indicators of where to focus our energy. So even as we say to government representatives, legislators and fellow citizens, "Here is our next challenge," the question still remains: "Is anyone really listening?"

التلخيص:
Researchers found a connection between healthy eating and avoiding disease and race and income A study from Johns Hopkins` Bloomberg School of Public Health, indicated a strong correlation between where you live and the quality of your diet The study had a 759 participants, their results were compared to the availability of healthy food in stores near their homes. Lower-income neighborhoods had a 46% low availability of healthy food, Compared to 13% in higher-income neighborhoods. The study concludes that lower-income and predominantly African-American communities have more difficulty obtaining healthy food due to its absence in neighborhood stores. Lower-income communities have smaller food budgets and yet the food prices in their neighborhoods are consistently higher. Needless to say we must not forget that these neighborhoods are peopled by adults and children who are subject to health risks from poor diet. Children living in poverty have higher levels of risk factors for diabetes, low fitness and obesity. And because children`s bodies develop with needs higher than adults` the damage of a poor diet on their health is often permanent. Another children`s health issue directly affected by diet quality is lead poisoning. A low-fat healthy diet rich in iron and calcium can facilitate the elimination of lead contamination from the blood thereby lessening the effects of the exposure. Therefore, a healthy diet not only gives children the necessary building blocks to be a healthy adults, it also protects them from environmental contaminants. And we all as a nation should improve the development opportunities of our children.
Opinion:
I think that due to our modern and fast pace lives; people nowadays don't have the time or effort to make a healthy meal for themselves or even their families. In addition, the high price of healthy food in general and particularly organic food creates an obstacle to those with low-income. The fact that children have to undergo a poor diet due to their caregivers low-income is saddened. I believe that we, as individuals must do our best to insure our children’ well being. They have the right to grow up to be healthy adults and I think the way for that is to educate caregivers about the many health problems and diseases their children might face such as low fitness, obesity or god forbids, diabetes due to a poor diet.
