We Think We Are Healthy But, We Are Not

We think we're healthy but 90 per cent of us have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. That's the disconnect according to the latest report from the Heart and Stroke Foundation which concludes we're in a state of denial. Saint John registered dietician Christine Roherty tells CHSJ News changing your diet and eating five servings of fruits and veggies a day isn't as hard as you might think.

She says they want to look at this in a positive way and have people eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce the salt and eat more whole foods and less processed and packaged foods.


A good rule of thumb is that half your dinner plate should be taken up with vegetables and one glass of tomato juice, for instance, accounts for two servings of veggies.
