Western Canadians are shaping up

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

With obesity rates soaring higher than ever before, it's great to see statistics reporting that they're dropping, at least in some places. In the Canadian province of BC, for instance, reports are saying that obesity rates are the lowest they've been in 10 years, decreasing from 12.7% to 10.9%.

So what are they doing there that the rest of us aren't? Most experts believe the positive change comes down to a health initiative in the area. ActNow BC encourages residents to eat better, exercise more and quit smoking.

With proof that such a program works, we can only hope that the rest of North America can get a similar act going and make some healthy choices.
