Healthy Eating Awareness and Education Initiatives
Health Canada’s Healthy Eating Awareness and Education Initiatives are focused on improving awareness and understanding of healthy eating by motivating Canadians to make healthy food choices for themselves and their families. The objective of these initiatives is to increase Canadians’ quality of life by improving overall health and decreasing the risk of obesity, hypertension, and other nutrition-related chronic diseases through a healthy diet. It is hoped that Canadians’ understanding of healthy eating will be increased by emphasizing:
- Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide;
- the importance of using and understanding the Nutrition Facts table.
- sodium reduction through healthy eating; and
- the importance of improving cooking and food preparation skills to support healthy eating and healthy weights.
