Live 5-2-1-0 is a simple, easy-to-remember message to help kids and families adopt healthy habits.
We know that a consistent message that is supported by a healthy community environment is important. By working together with communities, Live 5-2-1-0 helps build partnerships and opportunities to create healthy environments where kids can eat well and be active every day.
Live 5-2-1-0 provides four simple guidelines for raising healthy children:
- 5 - Enjoy five or more vegetables and fruits every day
- 2 - Limit screen time to no more than two hours a day
- 1 - Play actively for at least one hour a day
- 0 - Drink zero sugary drinks
Watch our 'Just one thing' video below to find out how you can change one thing – as a family or a community leader – to help kids choose healthy.
