Why is it Important to Keep Our Hearts Healthy? • Our hearts are super important as they keep us alive

and help us do all of our favourite things• We need to try to do at least 1 hour of physical

activity every day to help keep our hearts nice and healthy

• Skipping is great for our cardiovascular health which is why our school is doing Jump Rope For Heart

• What type of Physical Activity do you do to keep your hearts healthy?

• Eating a healthy diet full of a variety of fruits and vegetables, proteins, and foods low in salt, sugar and fat every day is very important!

• What are some healthy snacks you can include in your lunch box every day?
