LOVE YOUR HEART
Love your Heart
LOVE YOUR HEART
A Step to celebrate St.Valentine's Day.
This was the theme for the activity this month that took place in the Secondary School of Seia on the 12th during the morning.
The day began with an aroma of fruit and vegetables, which contributed to strengthen the second breakfast of our students, giving them thus more energy and vitality.
Cooking with the heart for a Healthy Heart
Whether we have much or little time to cook what is truly important is being aware that you can make quick and healthy meals by following simple tricks and giving "wings" to creativity. In implementing this activity we have the pleasure to cook and eat colorful meals, full of flavor, taste and health. At the same time, we take the food, we feel its texture, its smell and taste, and from the senses and the imagination create a plate of food, full of nutrients! It is undoubtedly an art. Instead of salt, we used the dried and fresh herbs. We tried the ginger, but others gave their aroma, including, cinnamon, saffron, turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, coriander, oregano ...
Abuse eating vegetables and greens: watercress, zucchini, carrots, spinach, lettuce, rúcula , onions, red peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms ... fresh fruits such as apple, pear, banana, orange, strawberry....
We tried dried fruits: pumpkin seeds, plums, almonds, nuts, adding flavor as well as nutrients that promote good health.
Food in a balanced way has many benefits.
Practicing physical exercise is the cherry in the center of your heart. So the students of class 12ºJ danced and gave rhythm all the morning entertaining the school community.
As St. Valentine’s Day was close students wrote love messages inspired by the food.
Food is Love!
Food combines with love and love combines with Heart.
oi este o tema da atividade deste mês de fevereiro que teve lugar na Escola Secundária de Seia no dia 12 durante o período da manhã.
O dia começou com um aroma a fruta e vegetais, o que contribuiu
para reforçar o segundo pequeno-almoço dos nossos alunos, dando-lhes, assim,
mais energia e vitalidade.
Cozinhar com o coração para um
coração saudável
Não importa se temos muito ou pouco tempo para cozinhar. O que é
deveras importante é consciencializarmo-nos de que é possível fazer refeições
rápidas e saudáveis, seguindo truques simples e dando “asas” à criatividade.
Nesta amostra pudemos ter o prazer de cozinhar e consumir refeições coloridas,
cheias de aromas, sabor e saúde. Ao mesmo tempo, pegamos nos alimentos,
sentimos a sua textura, o seu cheiro e sabor e, a partir dos sentidos e da
imaginação, criamos um prato de comida, pleno de nutrientes! É, sem dúvida, uma
arte que poucos conhecem porque não ousam experimentar um contacto com os
alimentos.
Em vez de sal, recorremos a
ervas aromáticas secas e frescas. Experimentámos o gengibre, mas outras deram o
seu aroma, entre as quais, canela, açafrão, …
Abusamos das verduras e legumes: agrião, courgette, cenoura,
espinafre, alface, rúcula, cebola, pimentos vermelhos, tomate, cogumelos… Ainda
saboreamos
frutas frescas, como maça,
pera, banana, laranja, morango
Provámos Frutos
secos: pevides de abóbora, ameixa, amêndoa, nozes, tâmaras entre outros acrescentam
sabor, assim como nutrientes, que promovem a boa saúde.
Alimentar-se de forma equilibrada
tem muitos benefícios.
Movimentar-se
é a cereja no centro do seu coração. Assim os alunos do 12ºJ contagiaram e
deram ritmo com os seus números de zumba.
Mensagens
de afeto e inspiradas nos alimentos fizeram parte da decoração e manifestação
da comunidade escolar
Comida é
Amor
Comida
combina com amor.....
e amor combina com Coração.
Obrigado
por participarem.

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.
