Eat Well
Healthy eating is one of five action areas for health promotion in PEI.
Islanders who have a balanced diet are more likely to get enough vitamins and minerals and lower rates of chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. A balanced can also improve mental health and wellbeing.
Barriers to eating a balanced diet can include access to healthy food, food costs and limited food skills. A balanced diet not only positively impacts people's health but also for communities and society as a whole.
