Health Month Themes for a Year of Wellness

      During the entire year 2016, each month we will be accompanied by another HEALTH THEME.

Health Months Themes  will cover a wide range of different types of actions. They will be largely interdisciplinary tasks . These actions will involve teachers of different subjects (physical education, biology , geography, art classes , computer science, national and foreign languages and others). The use of integrated knowledge and skills will be a valuable added value of the project. Monthly thematic series will also bring the opportunity to work with a number of institutions and guests of the project such as  nutritionists , trainers of different sports , personal trainers, fitness instructors, doctors , nurses, explorers , naturalists , etc. (DEPENDS ON EACH SCHOOL) 

It will be a good way to increase the popularity and awareness of the project priorities among all students of partner schools.

                                 Try not to snack between meals.

As the snacks are important for children and they snack on average three times a day, accounting for almost 1/3 of their daily calories.  WE ENCOURAGE YOU to resign from unhealthy snacks and drinks. Reach for kid-friendly healthy snack & drinks recipes. Think of snacks as mini-well balanced meals.

***

Eat more fish.

The nutritionists recommend eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids like tuna and salmon twice a week. Omega-3s are associated with all kinds of health benefits from warding off depression to reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease.

***

Eat more vegetables !!! 

Don’t forget about fruits !!! 

Eating Vegetables Provides Health Benefits.

The nutrients in vegetables are vital for health and maintenance of your body.

Eating a diet rich in vegetables may reduce risk for stroke, cancer, heart diseases and type-2 diabetes.

One to five portions of vegetables are recommended each day, depending on how many calories you need.
