HEALTHY LIVING CHOICES PAY OFF FOR BRITISH COLUMBIANS

Just when I thought BC Canada was the best place to live, Stats Canada offers more information to back up my pride of ownership.

The 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey shows that:

·         B.C. has the lowest smoking rate in Canada at 16 per cent.

·         British Columbians rank second in Canada for fruit and vegetable consumption (five or more servings per day) at 45.7 per cent.

·         British Columbians (ages 12 and over) have the highest physical activity rates in Canada at 60.3 per cent.

·         British Columbians have the lowest self-reported obesity rates in Canada at 45.1 per cent.

·         B.C. ranked second among provinces for functional health at 82.7 per cent. Functional health measures eight categories, including hearing, vision, communicating, mobility, dexterity, pain, cognition and emotion.

The survey is available online at:
