Reduce your risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Unhealthy Eating

A minority of Canadians report eating fresh fruits and vegetables in the amounts that are recommended in Canada's Food Guide. Some 56% of Canadians eat less than 5 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day. Fresh fruits and vegetables can protect the heart and blood vessels. They provide fibre and contain anti-oxidants, substances which work against the development of blockage in the arteries.
