Heart disease and type 2 diabetes are named as illnesses that can last a long time, and a risk meter shows the chance of getting one. Four habit cards fill in one at a time (be active at least 60 minutes a day, eat vegetables and fruit and drink water, sleep about 9 to 11 hours, manage stress by breathing slowly and talking to a trusted adult), and each one lowers the meter, which never reaches zero because habits cannot prevent every illness.

What the lesson says
How can your everyday habits help you stay healthy?
Some illnesses, like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, can last a long time.
Risk means the chance of getting one of them.
Four healthy habits can lower that risk.
First, be active for at least 60 minutes every day.
Next, eat lots of vegetables and fruit, and choose water to drink.
Then, sleep about 9 to 11 hours each night.
Last, manage stress, for example by breathing slowly.
If you feel worried, talk to a trusted adult.
Healthy habits help, but they cannot prevent every illness.
Being active, eating well, sleeping well and managing stress all lower your risk of long-term illness.
