5-2-1-0 Healthy Choices Count

Project Description

5-2-1-0 Healthy Choices Count! is an evidence based prevention framework that promotes lifelong healthy habits for Iowa’s kids. We partner with schools, healthcare providers and workplaces to increase physical activity and healthy eating through policy and environmental change.

Each number of 5-2-1-0 represents a different daily habit that can help Iowans stay healthy and feel their best no matter their age. 5 servings of fruits and veggies, 2 hours or less of recreational screen time, 1 hour or more of physical activity, 0 sugary drinks - drink more water!

A $50 donation supports the creation of exclusive resources, curriculum, and technical assistance that teach healthy habits in Iowa schools and healthcare sites. By focusing on prevention today, we can prevent the negative health outcomes of tomorrow and build a healthier foundation for Iowa!
