Health Club
Welcome to DAV Pushpanjali Health & Hygiene Club
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in "GOOD HEALTH" or "HEALTHY"). The WHO has defined health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence or diseases or infirmity."
In the present day scenario all over the world, children are addicted to junk food
and are the victims of obesity and health problems. The project being carried out
aims with a vision of a "HEALTHY WORLD WITH HEALTHY CHILDREN".
WORLD HEALTH DAY is celebrated on 7th April and this project intends to appreciate
healthy foods of different countries of the world. We organized a "HEALTH WEEK"
from 7th April to 14th April 2012 with a series of activities conducted throughout
the school creating a healthy health mania among the students.
In the morning, children are given five minutes "fruit break" where it is compulsory
for every student to have any one seasonal fruit. Students are encouraged to bring
healthy food for "lunch break". A series of activities and competitions were held
during the health week involving classes II to XII.
Nutrition is of prime importance to keep yourself healthy and growing. Calories
to your body are like fuel to a car, and it is for us to maintain nutritive balance
by maintaining a balance between "calories in" and "calories out". Many other activities
have been planned for the session which include "HEALTH QUIZ, CALORIE RELAY, MY
ENERGY BALANCE CROSSWORD, HEALTHY FOOD CALORIES STICKER ACTIVITY, NUTRITION IN ME
CROSSWORD PUZZLE, HEALTH CARDS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, MY PYRAMID-BINGO, CUISINES
OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, SHARING HEALTHY RECIPES and EATING HABITS OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES".
