Live 5-2-1-0 is a simple, easy-to-remember message to help kids and families adopt healthy habits.

We know that a consistent message that is supported by a healthy community environment is important. By working together with communities, Live 5-2-1-0 helps build partnerships and opportunities to create healthy environments where kids can eat well and be active every day.
