The Healthy Steps programme has launched and families in Nottinghamshire are being encouraged to sign up.<\/p>\n
The free 8-week email programme encourages families to eat better and move more, with budget conscious, easy and practical ideas.<\/p>\n
It aims to get as many families as possible with 5-11 year olds to sign up in the local area.<\/p>\n
Parents and carers can sign up at any time by completing a quiz about their current eating and physical activity habits.<\/p>\n
Once they have completed the quiz they will receive weekly emails on one of these themes, tailored to their quiz results:<\/p>\n
\tReducing sugar
\n \tEating 5 a day
\n \tMeal planning<\/p>\n
The content in the emails will then provide families with simple ways to take steps towards healthier behaviours.<\/p>\n
As part of the programme, families are set goals or tasks to complete every other week, such as swapping out sugary fizzy drinks, or adding fruit or veg to their breakfasts.<\/p>\n
Regular feedback points give families the opportunity to celebrate their successes and continue to make positive changes.<\/p>\n
