HEAL Community Initiative: 5-2-1-0
An interesting approach by HEAL (Healthy Eating, Active Living), a new community program based in Nashua:
The 5-2-1-0 program, implemented in the schools this year, teaches children to eat five vegetables and fruits a day, to limit screen time in front of a TV or computer to two hours or less, to participate in one hour of moderate to vigorous exercise and to drink no soda or sugar-sweetened sports and fruit drinks.
UPDATE: Some 5-2-1-0 resources here (under “Office Tools”)
