It’s important for local families to making healthy eating part of their everyday diets.
That’s the message from Hastings and Prince Edward Public Health.
The health unit says vegetables and fruits can help make sure you’re getting all the vitamins, minerals, fibre, and energy you need to stay healthy and active.
Public Health will be holding local programs and activities to promote healthy eating.
These include activities in local elementary schools in October, and increasing community access to its ‘Good Food Box’ program, which provides fresh fruits and vegetables below retail cost.
