For many of us, the first thoughts are diet and exercise: eating well, staying active by hitting the gym, or cutting back on sugar. However, health is much more than that.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">External factors like policies, community infrastructure, and access to resources, all play a major role in shaping our health. If your neighborhood doesn\u2019t have a nearby grocery store with fresh produce or a way to get to a health clinic, it becomes harder, and sometimes nearly impossible, to live a healthy life. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u0412 \u0441\u043e\u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0438\u0438 \u0441 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/publichealth.jhu.edu\/2015\/report-1-in-4-baltimore-residents-live-in%2520a-food-desert\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, \u201cneighborhoods with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thehumaneleague.org\/article\/food-desert\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">food deserts<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> have higher rates of diseases linked to unhealthy diets, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. While not the only factor impacting these outcomes, food deserts can be a significant contributor.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Consider a parent working two jobs who wants to make healthy meals but lives miles from the nearest grocery store. Without access to a car or public transportation, they\u2019re left relying on corner stores that mostly stock packaged and processed foods. In this scenario, the barrier to health is the absence of viable alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Similarly, if the air in your neighborhood is polluted or unsafe, your health is impacted no matter how well you eat or how much you exercise. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/environment-climate-change-and-health\/air-quality-energy-and-health\/health-impacts\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">World Health Organization<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> states that &#8220;exposure to high levels of particulate matter&#8230;can lead to reduced lung function, respiratory infections and aggravated asthma from short-term exposure.\u201d Long-term exposure has even more dire effects, increasing a person\u2019s risk for stroke, heart disease, and cancer. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It\u2019s important to recognize that not everyone has the same opportunities to be healthy.

Creating healthier communities means addressing economic, environmental, and other unique community factors that impact health<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Understanding the bigger picture of health means recognizing the systems that shape our choices.
