Health Canada
Health Canada is responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health. They ensure high-quality health services are accessible and works to reduce health risks.

Eating a nutritious and balanced diet is one of the best ways to protect and promote good health. You can find the recently revised Canada’s Food Guide that not only focuses on what to eat, but also about where, when, why and how you eat.

Some key aspects of the new Food Guide includes:

• Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, whole grains and protein foods (mostly from plants)
• Being mindful of your eating habits
• Cooking more often
• Enjoying your food
• Eating meals with others
• Limiting highly processed foods
• Making water your drink of choice
• Using food labels
• Being aware that food marketing can influence your choices

Other Health Canada resources include information on food safety, food labelling, food allergies and other food related topics.
