Physical Activity:
Encourage Your Kids to Be a Player: Get up and Play an Hour a Day.
What’s good about getting up to play with your children? Thefresh air, the quality time together, and – just as important – the exercise you all are getting. Being physically active is easy to incorporate into the time you spend as a family. The best part is, the more fun you and your kids have together, the healthier you all will be.

Balance:
Tell your Kids: Eat Well. Play Hard. Make it Balance.
Teach your kids all about balance. Show them that to be their best they have to balance how much they eat with how much they get up and play each day. It’s like the classic PB&J sandwich. Too much jelly or not enough peanut butter can make all the difference. It’s the balance of the two that makes the sandwich so great!

Food Choices:
Is your kid eating a home run or a strikeout?
To get kids to eat healthy, you’ve got to convince them it will pay off today. That’s because kids have a hard time conceiving of the future. Teach them that making healthy choices will help them perform better now - whether it’s at school, sports, play, or whatever matters to them today.

Food Portions:
The Amount Counts: Keep Portions Under Control.
Healthy eating isn’t only about what your kids eat, it’s abouthow much they eat. Help your kids understand that portion size matters. Encourage them to stop eating when they’ve had an appropriate amount, not necessarily when they’ve finished the whole bag or entire bottle. The right amount is just as important as the right diet.

Set the Example:
When it comes to activity and eating right, kids take their lead from you.
Most children get their nutrition information from their parents. If you eat healthy and stay active, chances are your kids will too.

Physical Activity:
Be a Player: Get up and Play an Hour a Day. Computer games may be fun, but the real test of strength is if you’re tough enough to ride your bike, jump rope, swim or play team sports with your friends. The more you get up and play, the healthier you’ll be.

Balance:
Eat Well. Play Hard. Make it Balance.
Eating healthy and being active fit together like peanut butter and jelly. Too much jelly or not enough peanut butter can make all the difference in a great sandwich. To be your best, it’s important to balance how much you eat with how much you get up and play each day. Make eating well and playing hard balance, like two halves of the perfect sandwich.

Food Choices:
Are you eating a home run or a strikeout?
If you want to win, you have to have a strong body and a healthy heart. But you also need to be eating well. Choose foods that give you the energy you need to win.

Food Portions:
The Amount Counts: Keep Portions Under Control.
Bigger isn’t always better. Healthy eating isn’t only about what you eat, it’s about how much you eat. Start with a small portion size - a handful, a scoop, a few. You don’t need to finish the whole bag or entire bottle.
