Eating well can support your health and wellness, and help to prevent chronic diseases. Healthy eating is impacted by your access to nutritious and culturally appropriate foods, and this access depends on many factors including income, geography and transportation.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador provides residents with credible and up to date information on food and nutrition. Dietitians in Government and at NL Health Services work together to develop or adapt resources for use in the province. Follow this link for more information and resources to support healthy eating. Additional information on healthy eating is also available from Canada’s Food Guide. 

If you’re looking for reliable nutrition information, contact a Registered Dietitian. Dietitians are health professionals and experts in the field of food and nutrition and are guided by a code of ethics which ensure you receive safe and reliable information. In Newfoundland and Labrador, look for the professional designation R.D. after their name. You can reach a Dietitian today on the Newfoundland and Labrador Healthline – call 811 or visit www.811healthline.ca. This service is free and available by phone or email to anyone in Newfoundland and Labrador.
