Information

The rapid rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases represents one of the major health challenges for the coming century. Cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes accounted for the majority of deaths in Lambton County in 2000. These diseases reduce not only the quantity but also the quality of our lives. Until recently, we thought of these diseases as medical conditions that struck an unfortunate few, who were occasionally saved by medical miracles. Now, guided by scientific research, we know that many of these diseases can be prevented by making positive lifestyle changes. The purpose of this manual is to help worksites implement healthy living programs and policies. The healthy living programs focus on the four common preventable risk factors for chronic disease: tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy eating and stress.

Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables

• Fruits and vegetables are great sources of many vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Eating a balanced diet and making other lifestyle changes are key to defending your body’s good health.

• Diets rich in dietary fiber have been shown to have a number of beneficial effects, including decreased risk of coronary heart disease. Good fruit and vegetable sources include navy beans, kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, lima beans, white beans, soybeans, split peas, chick peas, black eyed peas, lentils, and artichokes.

• Healthy diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Good fruit and vegetable sources include black-eyed peas, cooked spinach, great northern beans, and asparagus.
