Canada’s Food Guide was updated in January 2019, and there are some striking changes from the previous version.
Nutrition Planning
Shaking off excess salt when you have diabetes
When you have diabetes, you tend to hear a lot about how sugar impacts diabetes management and your overall health. But salt plays a factor in diabetes too.
The benefits of probiotics
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your overall health, especially your digestive system health.
The importance of fat in your diet
Fats are an important component of your diet. The fats that you eat give your body the energy it needs to work properly. You also need fat to keep your skin and hair healthy, absorb vitamins and insulate your body to help keep you warm.
Why low fat isn’t always the best choice
We are all encouraged today to consume low fat foods, whether we have diabetes or not. And the food industry has helped us in this endeavour by producing a number of foods that are labelled “low fat.”
Smart grocery shopping for people living with diabetes
Savvy grocery shoppers are more likely to stock their pantry with a variety of healthy foods, which makes it easier to plan healthy meals.
