Healthy Choices are all around you.  Preventing diabetes is all about making healthy choices.  “Type 2” diabetes has been identified as a significant public health issue, and many Lambton County adults over the age of 45 are at risk of developing this disease. The good news is that type 2 diabetes can be prevented, mainly by adopting healthier lifestyles - such as eating better and exercising more. Practicing a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean we all have to eat tofu and join fitness clubs, but it does mean that we may need to make healthier choices at home, at school and at work.

This is going to take some work …Making healthy choices sounds pretty simple, but let’s face it, our high speed world can get in the way. It’s a challenge to always eat healthy - especially when we’re on the go. It’s hard to make physical activity part of our lives when we barely have time to tie our shoes! Big changes aren’t easy to make, but if we make enough small changes, we can all lead healthier lives.

Healthy choices are all around you.
