Small steps towards a healthier life
The Food Standards Agency has officially launched SmallSteps4Life – an interactive website to motivate young people to take simple steps towards improving their health and wellbeing, both inside and outside the classroom.
SmallSteps4Life encourages young people to set themselves challenges, relating to the themes of eating well, getting active and feeling good – these could include eating a healthy breakfast every day, walking to and from school, or just getting more sleep. The updated website gives all primary and secondary schools the opportunity to post their own challenge ideas, play games and take part in quizzes. Teachers can also share their schools’ successes and nominate individuals or groups, who have done particularly well, as SmallSteps4Life ‘champions’.
