Eating well provides you with energy and nutrients you need to stay healthy and independent. Using Canada’s Food Guide can help you make the most nutritious food and drink choices you can. The guide recommends:

• Eating a variety of foods each day by making half of your plate vegetables and fruits, and the other half protein foods and whole grains.
• Making water your drink of choice.
• Limiting highly processed foods that are high in sodium (salt), sugar, and saturated fats.
