"Nothing looks as good as healthy feels"
Young people all over Europe eat lots of fast food due to the inordinate use of technological devices, thus increasing the tendency to become unfit, obese and in poor health. The global prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity is high.
Lifestyle changes towards a healthy diet,
increased physical activity and reduced sedentary activities are recommended to prevent and treat obesity. Evidence suggests that changing
these health behaviors can benefit cognitive function and school achievement in children and adolescents in general.
We believe that healthy lifestyle will develop parents and teachers’ cooperation and reach to students significantly.
​
