“Egészségünkre! Lépjünk egyet együtt!” initiative 

Starting February 2, 2019 the Hungarian schools of Guelph and Kitchener together with the Kossuth Hall will start a new initiative “Egészségünkre! Lépjünk egyet együtt!” with the goal of promoting a healty lifestyle. Every week at the schools through different modules, we will encourage childen to persue this lifestyle. We will also try to involve parents in this initiative. This initiative will culminate with the event, Egészségnap, on May 25, 2019 held at the Kossuth Hall.

In the month of February the themes will be fruits and vegetables and the importance of excercise.
Eat red, orange and dark green vegetables as part of each main meal, for example: tomato, carrot, broccoli. Add legumes (for example: beans, lentils, chickpeas, soyabeans) to soups, veggie casseroles, salads or spreads. Fresh, frozen and canned vegetables, including pickles, all count. Choose options of canned vegetables with reduced or no salt. Eat potatoes maximum every other day.2
Eat fruit as a snack, or serve them as a salad or dessert. Add some seasonal fruit to breakfast cereals or pancakes. First of all, consume fresh fruit but you can also eat
dried, frozen or canned fruit as well. Buy juices with 100% fruit content. A handful of unsalted oilseeds can be consumed 2-3 times a week, for example: walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds.2
Be active! Pick activities you like and do them for at least 10 minutes. Increase the time of the exercise step-by-step: the more physical activity you do, the more your health benefits. Children and adolescents get at least 60 minutes physical activity each day. For adults at least two and a half hours of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking is recommended a week.2
