This course aims to empower educators with essential knowledge on how even young students, starting in Kindergarten, can make choices that positively influence their future health and well-being. By examining lifestyle choices and behaviors, we’ll highlight their crucial role in longevity and overall health.   

Participants will explore key topics such as what are lifestyle diseases, including but not limited to diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, and the critical role of sleep in maintaining health. Research shows that adequate sleep is fundamental for cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall physical health, making it a vital component of a healthy lifestyle.

We’ll also delve into the concept of Blue Zones—regions where people live significantly longer, healthier lives—and discuss how these insights can inform teaching practices.

Through engaging discussions and practical strategies, participants will learn effective interventions to help prevent serious health issues. This includes techniques for managing stress, promoting healthy eating and sleep habits, and encouraging an active lifestyle, all aimed at fostering resilience and longevity in the next generation.
