5210

The 5210 program is a public education campaign to bring awareness to the daily nutrition and physical activities guidelines. This is a wonderful program to implement with your kids at home as well as yourself!  5210 is an easy way to remember what you should strive for on a daily basis.

You might be asking yourself what does 5210 mean?

Well, each number represents a goal that you should implement with your kids (as well as yourself) on a daily basis.

Here’s how it goes:

5 fruits and vegisEat AT LEAST five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
no more than 2 hours of tvCut screen time to 2 hours OR LESS a day.
at least 1 hour of activityParticipate in at least one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.

0 sodas and fruity drinksAim to drink ZERO servings of soda/sugar-sweetened beverages. Instead, replace these with WATER!

 

 

If you can strive for you and your kids to meet these goals everyday, you will be well on your way to a healthy lifestyle! Just remember 5210! 🙂

  6. 5210. 2 is hard…not for TV, but work related computer screens.

  7. Thanks for posting this. It’s useful and easy to remember!

  8. Well done Samantha, in every way. This is how I raised my six children. They were taught why not eat that, and what to eat instead and why. I have been doing this just about my whole life. My children have not been immunize, they have never had a medical dr. I just started my blog, I have no idea how to do any of this stuff, so it needs alot of work. Your on the right track and many blessings to you. Dr. Bev Carriere
