We should take our dinner at 8 o’clock as our ancestors,ancient Greeks,did and as modern Europeans do nowadays.

When we go to bed at around 10 or 11 p.m our stomach and intestines should be left to rest without having to process a burden of food.

When our stomach is empty,our brain does not work well.

Children who don’t take breakfast are not efficient in educational process.

18

Coffee and cola-type refreshments are not appropriate for children because:

They cause osteoporosis. They double the amount of bone fractures in

women.

19

Milk has calcium. However,students avoid milk. In a research by ΕΛ.Ι.ΚΑΡ.:

Exercise

Affects brain, sentimental and physical health of children

Helps in achieving better grades at school.

Help children to adopt an active way of life and tend as adults to be physically active.

People tend to adopt easier healthy behaviours (avoidance of smoking,alcohol and use of drugs).

The 10 points of a healthy diet 

We eat with the rest of our family and not on rush. We don’t eat second portion. We adjust the portions according to our age and our physical

activities. We do not eat fast and we try to finish our meal altogether. We do not put pressure on anyone to finish his food. We do not let children to eat whatever they want. We follow the routine: breakfast, brunch, lunch,evening meal,

dinner. Do not eat or drink refreshments between the meals. Do not give children flavour additives such as ketchup,mustard etc. We give children at least 3 fruit or vegetables daily.

  38

Exercise-how to keep fit

Beyond the lesson of physical education. Discover the exercises your body needs and make them

repeatedly at home for about 10-20 minutes.

In this way,you will improve your body positioning and your back will stay straight.

39

Exercise Walk a lot not only at school but also at

household jobs. Beyond the hours of Physical Education at

school,exercise your muscle system through physical exercise of any kind. 

Take part in team sports: basketball, volleyball, football etc.

40

Sports Professional sports demand extra care on behalf of

you. Do not take any kind of medicine to improve your

skills or your body. A champion of education “lives” longer than a

champion of sports. Simply:A person should continue exercise all his life.

41

Proper diet and exercise

from childhood are the basis for

a healthy adult life.
