Healthy food 

Objective

The aim is to improve the food of the students with the sale of healthy food to promote the concentration and strength.

In addition to this, we would like to introduce info days with experts on certain subjects. Possible subjects are the effects of alcohol and smoking, the vegetarian food, the vegane life settings and animal cruelty in the food production.

Moreover, we want to introduce to the students healthy alternatives, for example Smoothies, freshly-pressed juices, unsweetened tea and healthy sweets. The energy raised thereby, the improved well-being and motivation should become apparent in the school life.

Primarily we would like to inspire students to build up a healthy life style permanently and regularly and to maintain it.

Problems that are solved with this measure

The problems are the alcohol and cigarettes consumption of some students, little knowledge about healthy food and how it is prepared, few sporty activities, sleeping disturbances and privately or school- conditioned stress, which again leads to bad eating habits and often to overweight or underweight students.

Implementation steps

  • arrange meetings with experts and organize trainings about healthy food
  • prepare presentations for students, introduce them to the subject in the biology lessons and sports lessons
  • Organise healthy days and besides draw the attention to the effects of alcohol and cigarettes as well as introduce healthy food, for example banana wheat biscuits or different salads
  • have healthy food sold in the cafetería
  • Think about possibilities to reduce the salt portions and fat amount in almost all food and soft drinks
  • Make posters and hang them up to remind students
  • Contact organisations protecting animals, and collect information about this topic
  • Introduce health-related lessons
  • Develop a "healthy cooking"-book for students, with inexpensive recipe ideas and information about the effect of healthy food
  • promote to use recyclable packaging, like plastic tins instead of tin-foil and to purchase regional or Fairtrade products
