Healthy lifestyles in Canada

More people than ever are attempting to lead a healthier lifestyle by making conscious decisions and Canadians are no exception. Roughly a third of Canadians made an effort to drink more water and other fluids in 2019. Just under ten percent took the approach of eating smaller portions, while just under five percent of Canadians ate less red meat.

Access to healthy food

In 2019, Canadians most frequently went to supermarkets in order to find and purchase healthy foods. Other common retail destinations consumers would go to were warehouse clubs and farmers’ markets. One year earlier, opinions were mixed on whether or not it will become harder to obtain healthy foods in the future. A quarter of Canadians believed the situation would worsen, while another 25 percent believed it would become better. The remainder, however, believed that getting access to healthy food would stay more or less the same in the future.
