Description

"In ""Schools on the Move"" project our prior aim is to provide awareness of much healthier lifesytles in in terms of nutritional management, balanced diet,gastronomy, and sport activities for our schools and environment. Our motto is developing, applying good practices for healthy life at schools by experiencing. As young people are becoming more obese or overweight because of malnutrition and sedentary life styles all over the world and Europe this project is very essential for our students to understand the importance of healthy life style by balanced diet, and sports activities. Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal /excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. They are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Acording to the surveys at least 2.8 million people each year die ( apart from considering the 2019 EU year of Rare Diseases) as a result of obesity.In Turkey the situation is also getting serious. 13,7% men and 20,9 % women in Turkey are obese. In total rate is 17%. According to the Health Ministry’s National Nutrition and Health Survey 1 out of every 5 people in Turkey are obese. We did the same survey with participant countries , we took their ranking of obesity according to the WHO and their national surveys. The results are worrying for all the participant countries taking place in the project.This project involving (TR, GR, PT, RO, ) aims to improve and promote students’ awareness towards healthier lifestyle by taking into account of eating habits and sports activities. As fast food is eaten widely all across Europe and other countries especially by the teanagers and leading sedentary and lazy lives and getting more unfit, more obese, and with an increasing tendency to become ill. In this project our prior aim is to promote healthier lifestyle by understanding nourisment information and healthy dishes for young people in every partner school. In this way each school will will gain information and experience of healthy life style from the experiences during the project and afterwards.School canteens will also adjust their foods and menus according to the project results. Students will analyse the nutrition facts about the food that they are eating, build up healthier alternatives based on their shared national favorites. While the project is ongoing they will photograph, describe and present in e book of national dishes and sport.
