The Healthcare Provider (HCP) knowledge translation (KT) program was developed by London Health Sciences to help connect resources available through BC’s Live-5-2-1-0, a healthy living program, with urban and rural communities in Western Ontario.
This project is a collaboration between BC Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) and the Family Health Teams of Western Ontario.
Advice on proper nutrition and physical activity can be confusing, and at times overwhelming. British Columbia’s Live 5-2-1-0 initiative simplifies this information into four simple guidelines that are easy to remember.
The message Live 5-2-1-0 stands for:
5: Enjoy – FIVE or more vegetables and fruits every day
2: Power down – No more than TWO hours of screen time a day
1: Play actively – at least ONE hour each day
0: Choose healthy – ZERO sugary drinks.
Live-5-2-1-0 is a virtual community portal that offers healthy living strategies for every sector of a community involved in children’s health.
Each toolkit item has been developed and tested locally, and shared with other Family Health Teams, who then can pick and choose the types of programs or interventions for their communities unique needs.
