In light of new evidence on the prevention of chronic diseases and the elevated rates of overweight and obesity in Brazil and Canada, this critical review aims to interpret and synthesize current aspects regarding dietary and physical activity initiatives in both countries and make future recommendations. The pioneering work presented in the last Brazilian dietary guidelines has been called a model that can be applied globally, given its conceptualization of healthy eating that translates easily to practical guidance. The new Canadian Food Guide has incorporated similar aspects, also putting the country as a leader in dietary guidance. With these new recommendations, citizens in both Brazil and Canada have access to impactful evidence-informed nutritional guidelines. Both documents propose eating patterns that focus not only on health benefits, such as chronic disease prevention, but also incorporate well-being concerning cultural, economic, sociodemographic, biological, and ecological dimensions. A similar approach is required for physical activity to allow individuals to have attainable health and life goals and thereby fully enjoy their lives, regardless of geographical location, health status, and socioeconomic condition, a concept recently described as physical activity security. The wholistic dietary guidelines from both countries represent a change in paradigm in public health. Likewise, national evidence-based policies are warranted to reduce disparities in physical activity, allowing healthier and more active lifestyles for everyone.

对巴西和加拿大慢性病预防新方法的批判性审查：从整体膳食指南到体育活动安全。

鉴于巴西和加拿大预防慢性病以及超重和肥胖率升高的新证据，本次批判性审查旨在解释和综合两国当前有关饮食和身体活动举措的方面，并提出未来建议。上一期巴西饮食指南中提出的开创性工作被称为可以在全球范围内应用的模型，因为其健康饮食的概念很容易转化为实际指导。新的加拿大食品指南也纳入了类似的内容，也使该国成为饮食指南的领导者。通过这些新建议，巴西和加拿大的公民可以获得有影响力的循证营养指南。这两份文件提出的饮食模式不仅注重慢性病预防等健康益处，而且还纳入文化、经济、社会人口、生物和生态方面的福祉。体育活动也需要采取类似的方法，使个人能够实现可实现的健康和生活目标，从而充分享受生活，无论地理位置、健康状况和社会经济状况如何，这一概念最近被描述为体育活动安全。两国的整体膳食指南代表了公共卫生范式的变化。同样，国家基于证据的政策有必要减少身体活动的差异，让每个人都拥有更健康、更积极的生活方式。
