Live 5-2-1-0

Advice on healthy living for kids and parents can be confusing, and at times overwhelming. Live 5-2-1-0 simplifies this information into a comprehensive, evidence-based message for school-aged children (aged 5-12 years) that’s simple, clear, and easy to learn: 

Every day, 

  • enjoy FIVE or more vegetables and fruits, 
  • no more than TWO hours of recreational screen time, 
  • at least ONE hour of active play, 
  • and ZERO sugary drinks.
