A Prescription for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

Ready For Spring Planting

How many times have we heard “eat your vegetables” or said it ourselves?

Results from a local study reveal that people who increase their consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables do see improvements in health and habits.

 On The Point, we talk with Dr. Kumara Sidhartha, Medical Director for Emerald Physicians, about the Flavor Prescription program and the results from his 12-week study. We also talk with Francie Randolph, founding director of Sustainable Cape, about efforts to increase everyone’s access to locally grown fruits and vegetables. 

Here's a link to an article about Flavor Rx in Cape Cod Health news.
