FRUIT & VEGETABLE TRACKER Are you getting enough?

Health experts say that kids ages 2 to 6 need to eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day, older children and women need 7 servings, and teen boys and men need 9 servings. Fruits and vegetables are good for you for many reasons: most are high in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and low in fat. Fruits and vegetables are an especially good food choice for people living with diabetes. How many servings are you eating? Keep track of the number of fruits and vegetables you eat each day. Then total the amount. Color each block with the color of the fruit or vegetable. If you’re eating the right amount, congratulations! If not, find a way to add more servings and more color to your diet.

ACTIVITY LOG

How much exercise do you do each day?

Keep an activity journal for one full week. Your goal: Exercise at least 60 minutes each day. Use this chart to record every physical activity you do and the time spent doing it. Total the time for each day. Walking, dancing, skipping, throwing a ball, climbing stairs, and going to PE class all count. TIP: If you are not used to exercising, start slow. But the more you do, the more you’ll want to do. It takes about six months to “lock in” a new habit. Exercising is a healthy habit. You are on your way!
