November is National Health Food Month

Organized by the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), November is National Health Food Month—a time for Canadians to learn more about their food choices and embrace a healthy lifestyle. It’s also a time for the CHFA to educate Canadians, reminding them that natural health products are regulated, safe, effective, and a wonderful preventative strategy.

And it looks like Canadians are getting excited by the prospect—according to the CHFA, 71 percent of Canadian consumers have used a natural health product. In fact, organics and natural health is a $3.5 billion industry, which has prevailed despite significant challenges, including the recession and the harmonized sales tax in BC.

The CHFA recommends celebrating National Health Food Month by:

• eating more whole foods 
• learning about natural health food and product options
• choosing more organic products
