Portion Control Techniques for Kids (and new features on 95210.org)

The 95210 tenants encourage five servings of fruits and vegetables, but what is a serving? When you log in on www.95210.org, you are able to indicate how much of each fruit or veggie you ate, and what a serving is. You can also look this information up using this great interactive site that breaks it down by age: Nutrition for Everyone

Beyond fruits and veggies, it can sometimes be difficult to tell whether we are feeding our kids appropriate portion sizes. This video from the www.FitTallahassee.com Healthy Kids blog explains a few ways to measure portions for kids. Try a few of them today!


95210.org Update
www.95210.org now has a new Pedometer Steps tracking page, so now youmay click the top button for "Steps" (when logged in) to track your daily steps count. There is also information related to walking and why it's so good for you, as well as links to various other sites and blogs on walking and ways in which to increase your steps each day.


Members may earn 5 points for every 10,000 steps they walk daily with a maximum of 10 points per day for walking 20,000 steps or more. 

Log in every day to track your 95210 numbers and add it up for health!
