The 5-2-1-0 Prescription for Healthy
Living is an excellent tool to initiate conversations about healthy habits . This campaign is not limited by age and has been shared with many Polk Vision Teams and utilized by Polk County Head Start , Polk County Public Schools both in the curriculum and food service , Primary Care Providers , Florida Southern Nursing Program , and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women , Infants and Children , ( WIC ). 5-2-1-0 is a positive healthy message that can be conveyed throughout our county .”
