SCHOOL HEALTHY LIFESTYLE OF NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES
PROMOTION PROJECT AMONG ALSAFA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SAKHNIN CITY,
ISRAEL 2016
The nutrition condition among school pupils in the world has gotten worse to an epidemic situation. The obesity rate is 25%
in the developed countries while among Arab pupils in Israel, it has risen by 35%. Only 23% of the pupils perform physical
activities weekly. The objectives of this article are raising awareness and changing behavior among pupils and their parents about
healthy nutrition and the importance of physical activity; reducing 40% of obesity among pupils; increasing the physical activities
by 60% on a weekly basis among school pupils. Achieving these objectives requires conducting Body Mass Index (B.M.I)
survey by skilled nurses for all school pupils before and after the health promotion invention program at school; conducting
a needs assessment study; a questionnaire. School should continue using the program for the next 5 years in such a way that
would make other schools use it. In addition, more community volunteers, decision makers and sponsors as well as the school
community should be recruited as part of the program.
