This was a free event for the entire family designed to engage everyone in learning healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes and participate in fun workouts to get both kids and parents moving. We entertained around 125 parents and children!
We focused on Palmetto Health’s new health initiative slogan: “Can you B543210?” We had the following stations to educated kids on healthy eating and lifestyle.
B- eat a healthy breakfast
5- eat at least 5 fruits and veggies each day
4- drink 4 glasses of water
3- eat or drink 3 servings of dairy daily
2- limit screen time to less than 2 hours
1- be physically active for at least 1 hour
0- avoid sweetened beverages
Also on hand, we had doctors and nutritionists from the new Palmetto Health Obesity and Diabetes Clinic and USC Sports Medicine to help educate about healthy eating alternatives. We finished the day with Columbia’s own national award-winning Double Dutch Forces, something our President, Kristy Ellenberg, couldn't resist sitting on the sidelines for! Go Kristy!!
