Health and Wellness

Promoting Personal Health and Wellness

Inadequate knowledge of personal health and wellness can lead to poor health outcomes in Indian children, including malnutrition, obesity, dental decay, and other preventable health conditions.

Teaching about Promoting Personal Health and Wellness at a young age helps children in developing healthy habits, developing self-care skills, building confidence, fostering independence and empower them to advocate for themselves:

In our classes on Promoting Personal Health and Wellness, we enable students to 

  1. Practice appropriate hygiene habits.
  2. Get an appropriate amount of sleep and rest.
  3. Learning about what can lead to vision and hearing impairment.
  4. Prevent damage from the sun.
  5. Practice behaviours that prevent any infectious or chronic diseases.
  6. Practice behaviours that promote mental and emotional well-being.
  7. Practice behaviours that prevent foodborne and waterborne illnesses.
  8. Prevent serious health problems that result from common chronic diseases and conditions among youth, such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, and epilepsy.
  9. Use healthcare services to address common infectious diseases and manage chronic diseases and conditions.
  10. Seek out healthcare professionals for appropriate screenings and examinations.
  11. Prevent health problems that result from fads or trends.

Each lesson is designed meticulously with the help of global experts, our classes are not only age-appropriate but also culturally appropriate according to the region and state you are watching the classes in. We also customize the classes to fit the requirements of each school.
