ISA ACTIVITY
ANTI OBESITY AWARENESS PROGRAMME
Health is
defined by the WHO as the State of complete physical, mental and Social well
being and not merely the absence of diseases and infirmity. But in contemporary times prevalence of
obesity and its consequences has
promoted WHO to identify it as one of the most important public health
problems. Keeping the same views our
school organized : ‘Walk for Obesity’ on 27th Sept.
on Anti Obesity drive to create awareness among public. Under this drive, students made people of
different age groups, aware of the causes, consequences and prevention of
obesity at District Centre , Janak Puri.
They carried
banners with them to spread the message and also distributed pamphlets giving a
‘wake up call’ or awakening call for a
healthy future life.
It is truly said :-
‘It is not that obesity runs in your
family, its that no one runs in your
family’

Body
Mass Index Report
(BMI)
Collected
and calculated data on body mass index (BMI) of students of classes 6-12
, indicate that :-
About
50% the students fall under the category
of “normal”. 25%
under the category of “underweight” . 17%
as “overweight” and only 8% as “obese” .
The low percentage of obesity among the
students indicate the prevalence of healthy eating habits . an important reason
behind such a data is : “no canteen” in the school which
compels the students to carry healthy tiffins from house.
Among all classes, 12th grade
show maximum percentage of obesity which maybe due to high academics pressure
& low physical activities .
