Sustainable eating is about choosing foods that are healthful to our environment and our bodies. According to the 2019 EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems, a global shift toward more plant-based foods would help feed the world's growing population a nutritious and sustainable diet. This plant-based eating style includes more legumes(beans, peas, lentils, peanuts), whole grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts, and [fewer] animal-based foods, especially red meat and processed meat. Limiting refined grains and added sugars is encouraged as well. 3, record 1, English, - sustainable%20eating

Formé du préfixe éco- et du mot «responsable», le terme «écoresponsable» s'inscrit dans une démarche de développement durable. Il implique de prendre en considération les conséquences potentielles à court et long terme de nos comportements et choix. Par exemple, choisir d'acheter des fruits et légumes locaux et cultivés dans le respect de l'environnement et des travailleurs [...] est considéré comme un choix écoresponsable! L'écoresponsabilité appliquée à l'alimentation implique la minimisation des impacts environnementaux des aliments tout en maximisant les impacts sociaux positifs. Une alimentation écoresponsable est directement liée à l'impact des changements climatiques, qui altèrent à long terme des aspects liés au temps tels que la température, les précipitations, la configuration des vents, etc. 5, record 1, French, - alimentation%20%C3%A9coresponsable

[...] le Canada à l'instar de la plupart des pays occidentaux, s'apprête à vivre un important virage démographique, à l'heure où la population de 65 ans et plus connaît une augmentation sans précédent. À cet égard, on notera que la hausse démographique chez les personnes de 80 ans et plus s'avère encore plus marquée. On parle souvent de «crise» pour évoquer ce vieillissement des baby-boomers, puisque cette mutation démographique suppose d'importants défis en matière de politiques sociales et de soins de santé. 3, record 2, French, - virage%20d%C3%A9mographique

The Children's Oral Health Initiative(COHI) was developed as a means to address the disparity between the oral health of First Nations and Inuit and that of the general Canadian population. COHI was launched on a test basis in Fall 2004. COHI focuses on the prevention of dental disease and promotion of good oral health practices. The goal of COHI is to shift the emphasis from a primarily treatment based approach to a more balanced prevention and treatment focus. The initial focus for oral health promotion will be directed at three target groups : pregnant women and primary caregivers; pre-school children, 0-4 years of age; and school children, 5-7 years of age. Health Canada expects that the COHI, once fully implemented in subsequent years, will result in significant improvement of the oral health in First Nations and Inuit. 1, record 3, English, - Children%26rsquo%3Bs%20Oral%20Health%20Initiative

L'Initiative en santé buccodentaire des enfants (ISBE) a été élaborée pour combler l'écart qui existe en matière de santé buccodentaire entre les collectivités des Premières nations et des Inuits et l'ensemble de la population canadienne. L'ISBE a été lancée à l'automne 2004 à titre d'essai. L'ISBE est essentiellement axé sur sur la prévention des maladies buccodentaires et la promotion de bonnes habitudes d'hygiène buccodentaire. L'ISBE, se concentre sur un programme plus équilibré de prévention et de traitement préventif plutôt que sur le traitement primaire même. La promotion de la santé buccodentaire s'adressera initialement aux trois groupes cibles suivants : les femmes enceintes et les principaux pourvoyeurs de soins; les enfants en âge préscolaire de 0 à 4 ans; les enfants en âge scolaire de 5 à 7 ans. Santé Canada prévoit une amélioration importante de la santé buccodentaire des Premières nations et des Inuits une fois la mise en œuvre de l'ISBE. 1, record 3, French, - Initiative%20en%20sant%C3%A9%20buccodentaire%20des%20enfants

Method of determining what percentages of neutrophils in a population have each number of nuclear lobes or segments between one and five; normally over 75 per cent should have two or three lobes. An increase in the percentages with fewer lobes, called a shift to the left, is seen in bacterial infections, whereas an increased number with hypersegmentation of the nuclei, called a shift to the right, is seen in cobalamin and folate deficiency. 1, record 4, English, - Arneth%26rsquo%3Bs%20count
