Good Choices at School

School represents the majority of a child’s waking hours. How that time is spent has a big impact on their mental and physical health. Help them make smart choices during the day.

Activate Your Kids

Exercise changes everything. It can help mood, weight and self-esteem in overweight kids. Get your
child started on an active lifestyle.

Healthy Eating & Recipes

Grow a healthy eater by getting kids involved in the garden and at the market. Make changes in your kitchen and find healthy recipes you and your child can make together.

Well-Child Visits

Use time at the doctor’s office to talk about exercise, nutrition and your child’s overall wellbeing. Let your doctor be an ally in your child’s healthy future.

Be a Role Model

When you create your own exercise routine, plan activities for you and the kids to do together. Don’t find excuses – just get off the couch and go!

United Healthcare is partnering with schools and communities on a new program to encourage a healthy lifestyle for American’s children.
