Sugar Awareness Project: "Sugar Boards"
As part of the Happiness Project, students in classes 6 to 8
embarked on a Sugar Awareness initiative to create a healthier and more
informed community. The project involved creating A4-sized sheets to raise
awareness about the risks of excessive sugar consumption and promote healthy
eating habits.
Key Takeaways:
1. Normal Sugar Levels: Students learned about recommended
daily sugar intake and its effects on the body.
2. Insulin Intolerance: They understood insulin intolerance,
its symptoms, and relation to sugar consumption.
3. Health Risks: Students highlighted risks associated with
excessive sugar intake, including:
- Obesity and
Weight Gain
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Tooth Decay and
Oral Health Issues
4. Sugar Content in Foods: They researched and listed sugar
and calorie content in popular foods and beverages, such as:
- Soft Drinks
- Packaged Snacks
(biscuits, chips, energy bars)
5. Healthier Alternatives: Students suggested healthier
options like fruits, nuts, and low-sugar snacks.
Students participated
enthusiastically and learnt valuable facts about sugar consumption and its
effects on the body in a fun and engaging way. We would like to extend our
gratitude to our Principal Mam for providing such opportunities for students to
explore and learn through such initiatives.
