CONTENTS OF THE PROJECT Scientists and nutritionists agree that healthy breakfast is a better way to start our day. Breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and B vitamins as well as protein and fibre. The body needs these essential nutrients and research shows that if these are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day.The lack of these nutrients have an effect on concentration, memory, mood and resistance to illness.
Young people today rarely have healthy breakfast and do not pay attention to the quality of the food they eat. The main aim of this project helped them become aware of the importance of the healthy food and the way it is prepared. Partners from Turkey, N. Macedonia, Poland, Ukraine, Portugal, Greece, Armenia, and France learned together about nutrition literacy and shared their healthy recipes along the project journey.
