Good Food is Good Medicine – FNHA

Mar 30, 2023

We Encourage You to Continue Eating Healthy!

We hope you enjoyed participating in our Food is Medicine Wellness Challenge during the month of March. As each person’s health and wellness journey is unique, participation would have looked different for everyone. While one person might have chosen to cut down on their sugar intake, another might have chosen to eat more lean protein or vegetables, or to try out a new recipe from the Food is Medicine Cookbook. The important thing is that you took steps this month to focus on your wellness, and are likely feeling better for it!

Every year in March, we invite First Nations people from across BC to join us in doing the Food is Medicine Challenge, which includes sharing and learning about the many different foods we eat or harvest in our various communities, and exploring new possibilities. We showcase inspiring stories from First Nations communities across the province about their traditional activities on the land such as harvesting traditional plants and medicines, hunting wild game, fishing, and berry picking, and about their different ways to prepare, cook, and preserve their harvests.
