Purpose
In October 2017, Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg announced a new statewide childhood health initiative called “5-2-1-0 Healthy Choices Count!” The program promotes healthy eating and active living for children and families in Iowa. Healthy Choices Count! is an evidence-based model that promotes the daily recommendations of five servings of fruits and vegetables, two hours or less of recreational screen time, one hour or more of physical activity, and zero sugary drinks and more water. The initiative is a public-private partnership with the Iowa Healthiest State Initiative and the Iowa Department of Public Health.
Parents. Teachers. Health care providers. Business leaders. When it comes to kids, there’s one thing everyone wants – for them to be healthy! Join us to learn more about what we can do to support the health of our youth.
The purpose of this activity is to ensure that children and families receive a consistent message regarding making healthy choices to prevent/manage childhood obesity from physicians, healthcare providers, schools, childcare, and community organizations offering services to children and families.
Join us to learn how the 5-2-1-0 Healthy Choices Count! initiative can help your school, health care site, early-care program or out-of-school program make the healthy choice, the easy choice though a variety of expert speakers and community coalitions. Additionally, we will learn how to create sustainable, impactful change at your 5-2-1-0 Healthy Choices Count! site or in your community.
