- See stories
- Share your favorite EASY Healthy Habit with your child and the ways that you keep your heart and brain healthy.
- Speak to your child about the experiences of family members, friends or coworkers with heart disease and stroke.
3. Practice the EASY healthy habits every day at home
Protecting your heart and brain health is as EASY as picking a favorite healthy habit to focus on as a family!
Eat vegetables and fruits
Canada’s Food Guide recommends filling half your plate with vegetables and fruit.
Active for one hour or more
Children and teens should do 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily. They should engage in vigorous-intensity activities at least three days a week.
Screens for less than two hours
Fundraising online is fun, but most of your child’s free time should be spent away from televisions and technology, being active to keep their heart and brain healthy.
Yes to water, no to sugary drinks
The impact of sugary drinks on the health of Canadian children is troubling: childhood obesity levels in Canada have tripled since 1979.
