On February 5, 2007, Health Canada launched our new Food Guide. It provides the best, most current information available for eating well and living healthy. One important new feature of this Food Guide is that it now offers Canadians information on the amount and types of food recommended for their age and gender.

The Food Guide recommends a careful selection of foods balanced by physical activity. By increasing their levels of physical activity, improving eating habits and achieving healthy weights, Canadians can help ensure good health and prevent many chronic diseases, including some cancers, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
