Healthy Lifestyle
5-4-3-2-1-Go!
By Dr. McCabe
I often get questions about advice for promoting healthy lifestyles for children (and adults). I love this public education message containing recommendations for promoting healthy lifestyles in children and families
Five servings of fruits and vegetables daily (at least)
Four cups of water daily (at least)
Three servings of low-fat dairy daily
- think skim milk, low fat yogurts, low fat cheeses, and cottage cheese
Less than two hours of screen time daily (computers, iPad, television, video games, etc. combined)
One or more hours of physical activity daily
- it’s anything that gets your heart rate up – running, walking briskly, dancing, biking, swimming, playing sports, or doing the WiFit
Here are some websites to help achieve the 5-4-3-2-1 goal
