Look Greek to you?
Well, it shouldn’t.
Here’s what it means…
This formula represents some of the most important steps parents can take to prevent childhood obesity:
5 Fruits and vegetables…more matters! Eat at the very least 5 servings a day. To truly get all the nutrition kids need you should follow servings according to age and gender. However, if you are just starting out this is a good rule of thumb. Limit 100% fruit juice as they can be high in sugar.
2 Cut screen time to 2 hours or less a day.
1 Participate in at least one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.
0 Restrict soda and sugar-sweetened sports and fruit drinks. Instead, drink water and 3-4 servings/day of fat-free/skim or 1% milk.
There, now you know.
Now you’re empowered to change!
