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.
