Healthy Living
is about creating conditions and supporting behaviours that
promote the best possible health choices for everyone. It is a
shared responsibility and everyone has a role to play.
By
making healthier choices daily and working together to create
environments that support health, we can reduce our risk for illness
and injury.
Healthy Living is a way to improve health
for all Manitobans and reduce the need for health care services.

Physical activity
reduces stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, increases
energy, and helps us achieve and maintain a healthy body weight--all important factors in living a healthy lifestyle. |

Chronic diseases represent the major and growing
component of health care costs, with estimates that
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer cost the Canadian
economy more than $55 billion every year.
|
Eating healthy
foods in the right amounts can improve our overall health and
help us avoid unhealthy weights. This can lower our risk
for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Sexual health includes a person's physical, emotional and mental
health, and evolves over the course of a person's life. Learn
