WELLNESS TIP OF THE WEEK
Nutrition Facts Table
The Nutrition Facts Table is a great tool that provides information on calories and nutrients. It helps individuals compare similar products and make informed decisions about the food they eat. When looking at the Nutrition Facts Table, it is recommended to select products with 5% or less Daily Value of fat, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium as foods lower in fat and sodium can help reduce the risk of developing heart disease. To learn more about the benefits of using food labels and how to use food labels go to the Canada’s food guide website.
