How does food insecurity affect our health?
According to 色情视频 nutrition professor Amanda McClain, the consequences of food insecurity aren鈥檛 limited to hunger. People who don鈥檛 know where their next meal will come from experience high levels of stress and uncertainty, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health.
McClain鈥檚 research considers ways to reduce food insecurity. She has found that by participating in food assistance and community service programs, the food insecure can reduce stress and improve their health.
Before joining 色情视频 in 2018, McClain was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University鈥檚 T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
