Healthy is the new „Happy"

A healthy lifestyle not only changes your body, but it also changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood. Living a healthier life can not only extend life, it can also improve the quality. The relationship between food, nutrition, and physical activities, however, is complex, dynamic, multi-faceted and highly affected by biological as well as environmental, socioeconomic, cultural and behavioral factors. The goal and challenge of this project is to motivate and encourage young people to raise the level of awareness by introducing them to understand the crucial facts of the impact of a healthy life who has a significant influence on the physical and mental health of a human being. Studies indicate that overweight youth may never achieve a healthy weight, and up to 70% of obese teens may become obese adults. That’s why we decide to make an important role in this project to raise the awareness level of the youth to grow as healthy individual persons. Our two main objectives are:
1. Eating for Longevity - Healthy eating is about eating smart and enjoying your food. Eating the right foods can lead to a longer, healthier life. Eating many different foods helps maintain a healthy and interesting diet which provides a range of different nutrients to the body. With the assistance of professional nutritionist we will step forward and we will create a health frame which includes: personal health culture, healthy alternatives for personal health choices, facts about healthy eating and design healthy living logos.
By eating healthy, we will show the participants:
• A healthy eating pattern includes: teaching various methods by observing, personal interaction, facing their obstacles-step up, hook up, speak up and finally how to build and develop a long-lasting pattern about my daily meal.
• Nutrition: basic rules for healthy eating, healthy food myths, food and the five senses; Biochemistry and processes in the body
• The health of the next generation: Youth learn most health-related behaviors from the adults around them, and parents who model healthful eating and exercise habits tend to pass these on.
• Calculating Calories and nutrients in single-ingredient meals
• Better mood: Emerging evidence suggests a close relationship between diet and mood. A healthful diet may improve overall mood, it is essential for people with depression to seek medical care.
The goal is not to tell you how to think, feel or behave, but rather to help improve your understanding of how a healthy lifestyle affects individual health, and, to let you experience the challenge of improving your own personal health.
2. Physical activity’s
Staying active is one of the best ways to keep our bodies healthy soil is important that we keep our bodies healthy and fit. Exercising the body is one way of keeping it healthy. If we do not exercise then our muscles become weaker and we are less able to do things properly.

By being active, we will show the participants:
• how they can keep muscles strong and joints, tendons and ligaments flexible, allowing them to move more easily and avoid injury;
• an exercise that provide a mood booster and much-needed burst of energy to get them through the day
• Regular physical activity that can relieve stress, anxiety, depression and anger.
• Healthy and active lifestyle in order to eliminate the health risks, sitting life, and laziness which come as a result of the new technology life.
• burn calories that store from eating throughout the day;
- The benefits to prepare and eat food and how to transform it with people from different countries has a big influence and it doesn’t matter what is your nationality, religion, color of skin or background, preparation and eating of the food is something that we all have in common with one another. The sharing of food with others keeps people connecting. Through this young people will be more active, increase their participation, share ideas, exchange views and come closer to other youngsters reforming their point of regarding the need for a healthy lifestyle. All the objectives in this project are linked to the national European call about promoting healthy lifestyles through health, sport, education and food policies 2018 and Tartu call for a healthy lifestyle. By linking to the objectives we will try to increase awareness of the youth workers and young people on the importance of how healthy lifestyle promotes social inclusion. It's never too late to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle.
- The project is designed to contribute at the increase of physical activity, healthier lifestyle and elimination of sitting life for All, thus to decrease social exclusion through the power of non formal learning approaches. The learning experience will be very important in order to constantly interact and transmit knowledge and fully awareness to the youth people who will face the new possibility and chance to become a part of the National European movement to continue to promote Healthy Lifestyle.
