Most of us have used the BC Health Guide to look up information, but a new service exists online - a website that contains videos to help you find the answers you need. The website, www.healthchoices.ca has over 700 videos to guide online users to better health.  They cover topics ranging from inspiring healthy living through things such as medical services, dental services, corporate health, lifestyle, anti-aging, fitness, complementary medicine, etc. to medical specialty videos including topics such as traumatic brain injury, cardiovascular health, men's mental health, men's sexual health, diabetes - did you know that exercise is the number one way to prevent and manage diabetes? - and a variety of other topics.
