Promoting health and well-being

We invite you, once again, to the “Daniela Cuciuc” Secondary School in Piatra Neamț! Here, the beneficiaries of the project continued the discussions about “Promoting health and well-being”.

They learned about PHYSICAL ACTIVITY – the one that, within the school, has an important role in improving school performance. According to specialists, regular physical activity is necessary for children to improve their health, control weight and reduce obesity, but also to improve their mental state (reducing states of anxiety and depression).

The children discussed the fact that the school can also play an important role in ensuring adequate nutrition to maintain health, including by teaching healthy behaviors to prevent obesity and other related non-communicable diseases.

They also learned that ensuring adequate nutritional intake contributes to improving school results, having an important role in brain development, in improving cognitive performance, memory, attention, behavior and school attendance.

The psychologist with whom they learned about all this is Mrs. Gianina Eibenschutz.
