Good food choices + daily physical activity = a healthy life.\u00a0<\/strong> The choices you make can either help or hurt your health.\u00a0 Here are 5 simple ways for your family to lead a healthy life:<\/p>\n

1 – Get moving each day!\u00a0 60 minutes is recommended, but it doesn’t have to happen all at once or be the same activity.\u00a0 Activities should include vigorous activities.\u00a0 Parents can be role models by being active, also.<\/p>\n

4 – Turn off the TV, computer, i pad and cell phone apps and get active!\u00a0 Kids and teens should spend no more that1 – 2 hours\u00a0 a day on “electronic entertainment”.\u00a0 There are many other things to do\u00a0 –\u00a0 read a book, do homework, draw or color, write in a journal, go outside for a walk.\u00a0 Go to the Civic Center or Hype, play a game.\u00a0 I’m sure you can think of many other ways to have some fun.<\/p>\n
