These include canola, olive and soybean oils. • Aim for a small amount (2 to 3 tablespoons or about 30-45 mL) each day. This amount includes oil used for cooking, salad dressings, margarine and mayonnaise. • Traditional fats that are liquid at room temperature, such as seal and whale oil, or ooligan grease, also contain unsaturated fats. They can be used as all or part of the 2-3 tablespoons of unsaturated fats recommended per day. • Choose soft margarines that are low in saturated and trans fats. • Limit butter, hard margarine, lard, shortening and bacon fat. *Health Canada provides advice for limiting exposure to mercury from certain types of fish. Refer to www.healthcanada.gc.ca for the latest information. Consult local, provincial or territorial governments for information about eating locally caught fish.

The traditional foods pictured here are examples of how people got, and continue to get, nutrients found in milk products. Since traditional foods are not eaten as much as in the past, people may not get these nutrients in the amounts needed for health. People who do not eat or drink milk products need more individual advice from a health care provider. Wild plants, seaweed Fish with bones, shellfish, nuts, beans Bannock (made with baking powder) For strong body, mind and spirit, be active every day. Women of childbearing age All women who could become pregnant, and pregnant and breastfeeding women, need a multivitamin with folic acid every day. Pregnant women should make sure that their multivitamin also contains iron. A health care provider can help you find the multivitamin that is right for you. When pregnant and breastfeeding, women need to eat a little more. They should include an extra 2 to 3 Food Guide Servings from any of the food groups each day. For example: • have dry meat or fish and a small piece of bannock for a snack, or • have an extra slice of toast at breakfast and an extra piece of cheese at lunch.
