About Nutrition & Wellness

Supplements get most of the attention, but the biggest gains in how you feel usually come from ordinary things: what's on your plate, how well you sleep, how much you move and how you handle stress. This section covers those everyday habits, backed by research and translated into steps you can start this week.

We keep things realistic. You won't find 30-day detoxes or rules that fall apart the moment life gets busy. Instead, we look at what studies actually show, how big the effect is, and the simplest way to put it into practice. Where a supplement can help, we'll mention it. Where food does the job better, we'll tell you that too.

What you'll find in this section

• Gut health, fibre, fermented foods and the difference between prebiotics and probiotics
• Sleep, energy and the habits that affect both
• Healthy ageing, including bone strength, muscle and protein needs
• Stress, mood and the link between diet and how you feel
• Making Canada's Food Guide work in a real kitchen on a real budget
