For a holistist approach to the topic to this year’s project for the Brain Awareness Week we invited to our school the dietician Maria Christakopoulou, who gave a talk on the nutrients which enhance memory ability, a brain pattern related to learning and acquisition.

She paid attention to the importance of a healthy diet based on quality and variety of food, which includes 5 homemade,well-cooked meals that shouldn’t be skipped. She also mentioned that a healthy diet should be adopted in our lifestyle and to achieve this we ought to inform students to become educated consumers.

Furthermore, she made a reference to the harmful effects of sugar to our organism by showing the following video.
Finally, she concluded by stating the specific nutrients which preserve memory.Later on students reflected on what they had learned, collected all the necessary material and created a leaflet with canva to be distributed to their classmates.
