Healthy Eating

Want to feel better? Have more energy? Make your mind and body stronger? Chances are you can – with just a few small changes in your eating habits.

For example, most of us could benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables and cutting back on fats and sugars. The average adult in BC gets about 25% of their total calories from foods not in the Canadian Food Guide such as pop, chips and candy? Finding a healthier balance doesn’t have to be hard. It's as easy as adding fruit to your cereal at breakfast, choosing whole grains more often, and making healthier choices next time you eat out.
