What is NV 5210?
This program offers a robust foundation and actionable plan to enhance the well-being of every Nevadan. At its core, NV 5-2-1-0 gets people talking about tangible differences they can make in their daily lives to improve their health and overall quality of life. NV 5-2-1-0 is rooted in four simple, yet impactful guidelines:
5 – Eat 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables
2 – Limit recreational screen time to 2 hours or less
1 – Participate in 1 hour or more of physical activity
0 – Consume 0 sugary drinks, and prioritize water
Inspired by the success of the MaineHealth Let’s Go! Program
Launched in 2006 and partners with nearly 1000 registered sites, the MaineHealth Let’s Go! Program has helped thousands of people create healthier lifestyles.
Let’s Go! uses the socio-ecological model for behavior change by promoting policy and environmental changes in multiple facets of the community where individuals and families live, work, and play to facilitate healthy choices.
Following in MaineHealth’s footsteps, NV 5-2-1-0 equips people with accessible, ready-to-use resources and advocates for gradual adjustments that lead to remarkable health results. By embracing these four guidelines, you’re not just adopting a healthier lifestyle—you’re joining a movement that unites communities and redefines our collective future. Let’s stand together and shape a healthier Nevada for generations to come.
An evidence-based program that empowers the community
The MaineHealth Let’s Go! Program has numerous publications demonstrating how policy and systems change can bring about healthier environments in multiple settings such as healthcare, schools, and other sectors of the community.
Similar efforts such as the Massachusetts Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration project have demonstrated how multi-sector approaches can reduce BMI in children and improve healthy behaviors.
