The ¡Por Vida! Healthy Standard

¡Por Vida! registered dietitians look for nutrient dense foods with minimal saturated fats, trans-fats, and sodium that meet the ¡Por Vida! standards.
Just for Kids
Children come in all shapes and sizes, and calorie and nutrient needs vary drastically by age and size. Consider these healthy suggestions:
- Offer one or more servings of fruits and vegetables
- Serve a variety of non-fried entrée items
- Offer a variety of No Sugar Sweetened beverages
- Portion sizes should be child-appropriate
Beverages
Water is the most natural, healthiest beverage adults and children can drink. Treat other fluids like dessert - an occasional treat, but not the main course.
