SPORT, GOOD HEALTH AND WELLBEING

This month, we hare working on Good Health and Wellbeing. We are making researches about National Athlets, creating puzzles and playing our friends’ puzzles. Also, we are going to create a video including the most well known quotes about the sport and health.

Sport is an activity that has many benefits for the human body and that we should do regularly. It is good for physical health as well as mental health. It is the most beautiful activity that helps us to get rid of whatever bad energy we have on us.

The sooner we start exercising, the better it will be for our body. We should definitely make sports a habit. Unaccustomed bodies will of course have difficulties at first. But after a certain time, you can be sure that you will not be able to live still.

Every year, UNESCO celebrates the virtues and universal values of sports and wants to remind us that sports practice, which enables us to have a "healthy mind in a healthy body", has the ethics of living together and in peace.

By learning to join forces with a team, female and male athletes promote citizenship and peace – even in defeat – by following the rules of respect, equality and fair play.

There are many sports branches that every person can do, such as swimming, running, walking, gymnastics. It will be enough for your body health to choose the most suitable one for you and do 40-50 minutes depending on the branch you choose. We would like to specify a detail here. Before starting the exercises, it is necessary to warm up for 15-20 minutes. Exercising without warming up the body can cause serious problems. In addition, sports should not be done immediately after eating and while hungry.
