SABRINA’S TOP TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY:

You’ve probably seen Sabrina’s moves on Dancing with the Stars or when she was performing with the Cheetah Girls, but she wouldn’t be able to do any of these things without maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So try these yourself:

* Get physically active for at least 60 minutes each day
* Drink primarily water, 1% or fat free milk, and 100% juice with no added sugars
* Eat fruits and vegetables with EVERY meal
* Cut back on screen time and limit it to 1-2 hours a day
* Get at least 9 hours of sleep every night
