BUILD HEALTH INTO YOUR DAY
Aim for 10 hours of restful sleep for children and 7-9 hours for adults.
When we don't get enough sleep it affects our bodies, minds,
emotions and behaviours.
Sleep. It's more important than we think.
Veggies and fruits have vitamins, minerals and fibre that help us grow.
Aim for 5 or more servings every day to help build strong bodies and
minds.
Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit.
When we are plugged in too much for our down time we aren't making
time for all of the other great things around us like; playing, biking,
walking, gardening. Take a break. Turn it off. Unplug and Play.
Power Off and Play!
Every step and movement we take or make throughout our day helps to
make our mental and physical health better. Aim for 60 minutes of
active play every day. You can do it all at once or add smaller amounts.
Run. Jump. Play. Every Day.
BUILDING HEALTH
Choose water first for thirst. Water contains no sugar, is free and is an
environmentally sound choice when we use a refillable bottle. We win
and the earth wins! Look for water refill stations, water fountains, the
Blue W and taps because when we don't drink enough water we can
feel tired, muscle weakness and irritability.
Water Does Wonders.
Talk with a doctor. Reach out. Connect.
