Eating is about more than food and can look different from person to person. Choose foods for enjoyment, culture, preferences, traditions, budget, health, and celebrations:
- enjoy a variety of foods, including foods found in Canada’s Food Guide
- include plant-based foods like beans, peas, pulses, vegetables, and fruits
- pay attention to feeling hungry and full
- cook and eat with others more often
Canada’s Food Guide can help:
- lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis
- have a healthy pregnancy and baby
- provide the nutrients for children need to grow and develop
- have more energy and feel good
