Living 5-2-1-0 with your family starts healthy habits for life, for everyone in your family – including you!
Introduce these 5-2-1-0 behaviors at home:
Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables
Spend no more than 2 hours watching TV,
playing video games or surfing the net
Get at least 1 hour of active play
Drink 0 sugar-sweetened beverages
Your family might not want to give up their bad habits, but small changes in nutrition and your kid's activity will make it easier.
Start with these:
- Offer wholesome alternatives to unhealthy fare.
- Encourage your family to try new things, but let them adjust at their own pace.
- Avoid the “Do as I say, not as I do” approach. Your children will copy your behavior, so lead by example.
