The purpose of the project is promoting a healthy lifestyle for the children of Cluj-Napoca schools, initially the target group being formed of sixth grade students in three schools.

The project is implemented by The Romanian Social Pediatric Society, funded by a grant from the AstraZeneca Young Health Program for the NCD Child Advocacy in Action workshop series.

What do we do in the project?

PROMOTING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE through

Healthy eating courses and the importance of physical activity and sport courses

Because of the fact that many health problems are a consequence of a bad eating habit, inadequate, we designed these short courses which aim at the importance of becoming aware of the fact that a healthy diet along with a healthy lifestyle (physical activity, sport instead of sedentariness) can bring many benefits to the health of the young ones.

Unfortunately, an unhealthy diet, poor in essential elements for the growth and harmonious development of children is more and more present nowadays. Fast food, sweets and sodas, rich in sugar and fats, successfully replace the more healthy, rich in vitamins vegetables and fruits. The result? Gaining weight that brings with it heart problems, high blood pressure, joint problems, sleep disorder, back pain or headaches.

Like diet, practicing a sport regularly brings besides the benefits of healthy and harmonious growth, a development of the physical capacities, intellectual capacities and social abilities. Sport helps the child to be disciplined, competitive, to have integrity, to be fair and honest.

Because we want to easily reach you, these courses will be available online. We also prepared sections dedicated to healthy recipes, essential information brochures, games and contests with questions for the little ones.

In the first stage of the project, the team held lessons on healthy eating and the importance of an active, healthy lifestyle in three schools in Cluj (Radu Stanca Secondary School, Ion Agârbiceanu Secondary School and Brassai Samuel Theoretical High School) and met over 100 of students in grades VI a.

HEALTHY COOKING CLASS WITH MANAGIS BIO

This workshop is designed and seen as an example of how our children can eat healthy. Often it is much easier to form a habit if we do something practical than if we only discuss theoretically.

Thus, within this workshop, under the guidance of professional nutritionists, children can see, learn and cook a few meals with rich in nutrients ingredients, tasty and light, that can actually apply later as a first step towards a healthy lifestyle. Moreover they will build in a fun way the healthy lifestyle plate with the main food groups and the amount of water required per day.

HEALTHY RECIPES COMPETITION AND ONLINE QUESTIONS

The children will be able to participate in a healthy recipes competition and will be able to win very exciting prizes. So, in June 2019, we will launch the I Cook Healthy contest and the contestants have to send their recipe and at least an appealing picture of the cooked goodies, on the e-mail address proiectHC@gmail.com.

We will also prepare online questions to check your knowledge of healthy eating and outdoor exercise.

CHILDREN’S CROSS – 1^ST OF JUNE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HAI HUI PRINTRE POVESTI EVENT

Pediatricians recommend encouraging children to do regular physical activity, participate in various sports clubs, even at younger ages. Why? The answer is as simple as it is true. The sport has a preventive role. It strengthens the immunity, prevents obesity, strengthens the bone system, helps the correct development of the muscles and balances the child’s endocrine system. Those children who practice a sport are more disciplined, sociable and communicative.

ABOUT THE PROJECT TEAM

The project is implemented by The Romanian Social Pediatric Society funded by a grant from the AstraZeneca Young Health Program for the NCD Child Advocacy in Action workshop series.

The school in which the program is implemented are:

Radu Stanca Secondary School

Ion Agârbiceanu Secondary School

Brassai Samuel Theoretical High School

Acest atelier este conceput și văzut ca fiind o exemplificare a felului în care copiii noștri pot să mănânce sănătos. De multe ori este mult mai ușor să ne formăm un obicei dacă facem ceva practic, decât dacă discutăm doar teoretic. Astfel, în cadrul acestui atelier, sub îndrumarea unor nutriționiști cu experiență în domeniu, copii pot să vadă, să învețe și să creeze câteva feluri de mâncare cu ingrediente bogate în nutrienți, gustoase și ușoare, pe care le pot aplica ulterior ca prim pas către o viață mai sănătoasă. Mai mult decât atât, vor construi într-un mod distractiv farfuria nutriției sănătoase, cu grupele de alimente principale și cantitatea de apă necesară.

Copiii vor putea participa la un concurs de rețete sănătoase și vor putea câștiga premii foarte interesante. Astfel, în luna iunie 2019, vom lansa concursul Eu gătesc sănătos, iar participanții vor transmite rețeta și cel puțin o imagine apetisantă cu bunătățile pregătite pe emailul concursului proiectHC@gmail.com, în perioada anunțață de noi din timp.

Vom pregăti și întrebări online pentru a vă verifica cunoștințele privind alimentația sănătoasă și mișcarea în aer liber.

Medicii pediatri recomandă să încurajăm copiii să facă o activitate fizică regulată, să participe la diferite cluburi de sport, încă de la vârste mici. De ce? Răspunsul este pe cat de simplu, pe atât de adevărat. Sportul are rol preventiv. Întărește imunitatea, previne obezitatea, întărește sistemul osos, ajută la dezvoltarea corectă a musculaturii și echilibrează sistemul endocrin al copilului. Copiii care practică un sport sunt mai disciplinați, sociabili și comunicativi.
