Aging well and staying mentally sharp were the two top health and wellness goals of people in Canada, according to a survey carried out in 2020. Other priorities included eating healthier, to feel better and preventing any injuries or illnesses.

Why do Canadians want to eat healthier?

Attempting to lose weight was the most popular reason given in a recent survey for Canadian consumers to change their eating habits – over 31 percent of respondents cited this motivation. Protecting long-term health and wanting to feel better and have more energy ranked in second and third places in the survey.

How are Canadians eating healthier?

In order to improve their diet, over a third of Canadians have been drinking more water or other fluids, and over 20 percent have been eating more fruits and vegetables. When looking for healthy food, most Canadians visit supermarkets, followed by warehouse clubs and mass merchandisers.
