New Start for the secondary school
Unit 1 – Getting the right balance
In this unit we study the history of food from the Garden of Eden to present day, as well as taking a look at the role of carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals.
Unit 2 – Digestion, diets and addictions
This unit covers the digestive system, ways to promote good digestion and an overview of weight loss diets. Students can draw conclusions about the wisdom of crash diets and the reasons for comfort eating.
Unit 3 – Toxins
Students will discover the truth about food additives and substances which have a negative impact on our health.
Unit 4 – Fit to serve
The aim of this unit is to motivate students to be fit and healthy in order to live a long life and fulfill God’s purpose. We focus on exercise, water and sleep, and take a look at the impact of electronic devices in bedrooms, and their impact on sleep.
