Healthy Choices Count!
When kids eat healthy and play healthy, they stay healthy.
or more fruits and vegetables...
because kids need the right nutrients to grow, develop, and fight off illness.
hours or less of screen time...
because it decreases snacking and increases kids' reading scores and ability to focus.
hour of physical activity...
because it makes kids feel good, grow strong, sleep better, and improve flexibility.
sugary drinks, more water...
because soda has empty calories and caffeine kids don't need.
We can promote 5-2-1-0!
As parents, educators, health care providers, and caregivers, we can build healthy habits as we interact with kids.
Try easy ideas, such as:
- Offering a variety of brightly colored fruits and vegetables
- Keeping TVs and computers out of the bedroom
- Turning on some music for an impromptu dance party
- Carrying a water bottle with you and having kids do the same
This is just the start of what's possible when we all live 5-2-1-0. Check out tips and tools based on research on Iowa's 5-2-1-0 website:
