At WWIS, we prioritize our students’ well-being and health. To achieve this, we have designated every Tuesday as “Fruit Day”. On this day, we provide our students with a variety of seasonal fruits, ensuring they receive essential micronutrients.
Why Fruits?
But why fruits? The answer lies in their unique nutritional value. While our daily meals provide major nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, fruits offer vital vitamins and minerals often lacking in cooked food.
A Commitment to Holistic Education
Our commitment to Fruit Day goes beyond a simple gesture. In 2016, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine highlighted the importance of intermittent fasting, which involves consuming fruits to aid cellular recycling and renewal.
At WWIS, we believe in providing holistic education that extends beyond academics. We care deeply for each child, and Fruit Day is a testament to this commitment. What sets us apart is that providing fruits is a costly endeavour, one that few schools undertake, but we believe it’s essential because we care for each and every child.
Kids’ Love for Fruits
Our students absolutely love Fruits Day! From our KG to the older students, everyone looks forward to this healthy treat. Their enthusiasm for fruits shows just how much they enjoy this healthy habit, making Fruits Day one of the most anticipated events in our school.
Fruits for Detoxification and Energy
Fruits are nature’s best detoxifiers. They help cleanse the body by flushing out toxins and improving digestion, while keeping students hydrated. By nourishing their bodies with nature’s goodness, students are able to stay active and vibrant.
Sustaining Energy Without Heavy Meals: Building Confidence
One of the key lessons we emphasize on Fruits Day is that our bodies can sustain energy and focus without the need for heavy meals. Fruits provide natural sugars and fiber that keep students feeling full and energized without making them feel sluggish. This practice builds confidence in managing hunger in a healthy way.
Building a Healthier Future
By making Fruits Day a regular part of our school culture, we’re shaping a generation that understands the importance of nutrition, detoxification, and mindful eating. These small, yet powerful steps help students make healthier choices and develop a lasting relationship with food. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower students to live healthier, happier lives.
Key Takeaways:
- Fruits Day promotes healthy eating habits and mindful nutrition.
- Fresh fruits provide essential nutrients, antioxidants, and energy.
- Students develop confidence in managing hunger and making healthier choices.
- Our school culture emphasizes the importance of nutrition and well-being.
By teaching our students to make conscious, nourishing choices, we’re preparing them for a bright, energetic future!
