In Partnership With
Bailey Greetham of Be Great Fitness has launched a new project for schools and colleges to help teachers encourage a healthier relationship between young people and food.
Normally BGF works on making fitness accessible to overlooked groups such as those with disabilities or the elderly. This time however, Bailey is hoping to tackle not just healthy eating but healthy thinking as well.
Younger generations have always struggled with confidence and peer-pressure but with things like social media and tabloid journalism, the problem seems worse than ever. This is where Food For Thought comes in, the program will give teachers the resources to encourage a mature discussion around things like social expectations and self-esteem. The program will support and inspire students to make better choices related to their overall health and wellbeing.
Produced in collaboration with experienced teachers, food experts, fitness coaches and eating disorder specialists, much of the program is about eating right but also addresses issues of body image and mental health. Some of the topics include; ‘Supplements & Diet Pills’, ‘Convenience Culture’ and ‘Diet Myths & Misconceptions’. Food For Thought will provide a unique opportunity for teenagers to develop a positive relationship with both food and fitness, giving young people the knowledge and thinking skills that they need to continue living a healthy lifestyle into adulthood.
The Food For Thought project is currently being trialled in selected schools before the program becomes nationally available in September of this year. The ‘bite-sized’ topics and presentations will suit tutor time slots while also comfortably fitting into regular curriculum planning, making it a flexible and effective tool for teachers and students alike.
