In January 2002, the Alberta government accepted the recommendations of the Premier's Advisory Council on Health report and responded with an action plan to build a better public health system. One of the key directions of the action plan is improving the health of Albertans and helping Albertans to stay healthy.

Healthy U was developed as a public information and education campaign to support and encourage Albertans to lead healthier lifestyles by providing them with access to information on healthy eating and active living.

The goals for the program are:

  • To encourage and support Albertans to become more physically active and in eating healthier and more wisely;
  • To increase the number of Albertans who are physically active;
  • To increase the number of Albertans who eat a balanced diet following the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines.

This web site has been developed to give Albertans access to current, evidence-based information about healthy eating and active living choices and factors that affect health. The site is designed to help visitors find reliable health information and encourage them to live healthier lifestyles.
