A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar which can help keep appetite in check.

What happens when kids eat well • Enhanced overall academic achievement• Improved behavior & self-esteem
• Several studies show that nutritional status can directly affect mental capacity among school-aged children.
• For example, iron deficiency, even in early stages, can decrease dopamine transmission, thus negatively impacting cognition.
• Deficiencies in other vitamins and minerals, specifically thiamine, vitamin E, vitamin B, iodine, and zinc, are shown to inhibit cognitive abilities and mental concentration.

INCLUSIVE DUBUQUE HEALTH EQUITY SECTOR GROUP ISWorking to bring an equity and inclusion lens to the health space in Dubuque
Community Equity ProfileFROM THE SURVEY• While 76.21% of respondents believe that fresh and healthy food is accessible in Dubuque, 57% do not believe it is affordable
FROM THE DIALOGUES• Since it began accepting SNAP benefits as a payment, the farmers market has become more inclusive and has made healthy, local food more accessible by all populations. • While there is an abundance of fresh, healthy food available, it may not be easy to access or affordable for those with limited income or access to transportation.

National Success Story: New Mexico State funds help ensure program sustainability, capture federal match
• 2015 $400K state funds allocated towards food incentives + $100 K federal funds
• 2016 – 2020: With the $400K recurring state funds as committed federal match, it is projected NM DUFB will receive $500K of federal funding per year, or $2 million total
• More than 75% shared that DUFB was a strong incentive to shop at farmers’ markets and that they increased their purchase of fruits and vegetables as a result.
