Support local farming, improve food labeling, and incentivize healthier food options in schools and public institutions.Invest in Urban Planning for Active Living: Design walkable cities with accessible green spaces, bike lanes, and safe recreational areas. By creating environments that encourage physical activity, communities can foster healthier lifestyles.Address Mental Health at the Policy Level: Increase funding for mental health services and integrate mental health care into primary care settings.
