Explanation :
Canada's Food Guide notes the importance of physical activity in maintaining energy balance and recommends that adults spend 30 to 60 minutes per day carrying out some physical activity and children and youth spend at least 90 minutes per day.The guide provides advice on the use of vitamin and mineral supplementation when the recommended food intake pattern does not ensure adequate amounts and to maintain a healthy body weight.Although not specified in the guide,Canadians are advised to limit salt to "healthy" levels,alcohol to no more than 5% of total energy,and caffeine to no more than 400 mg for the general population.
