WebMD, the leading provider of health information services, and Sanford Health, the largest not-for-profit rural health care provider in the United States, have teamed up to develop a comprehensive suite of resources that will empower children and parents to make healthy lifestyles choices that help prevent childhood obesity.
The fit platform was developed using a combination of the latest scientific and behavioral research designed to educate, motivate, and inspire children of all ages to live a balanced, healthy lifestyle. There are four pillars to the fit platform:
- FOOD: Nutritional Fitness
- MOVE: Physical Fitness
- MOOD: Emotional Fitness
- RECHARGE: Behavioral Fitness
Three new children’s destinations have been created, each tailored to the interests and needs of the following age groups:
- fit Junior: Ages 2-7
- fit Kids: Ages 8-12
- fit Teens: Ages 13-19
The companies have also developed a complimentary fit destination for parents on WebMD.com called Raising fit Kids, to help parents become more informed about what they can do to maintain a healthy household and help their children be healthy.
