Health Promoton
Health promotion is the process o allowing people to haee more control oeer their
health as this will help them to improee their health and well-being. It ocuses on
indieidual behaeiour towards a wide range o social and intereentions. Health promotion
is how health is shown, or example to challenge obesity; change 4 li e is used so that
people can haee guidance on how to make their li estyle healthier. It also shows that
health promotion is aimed at indieiduals whose health is at risk rom any disease due to
li estyle actors, this will let them take control oeer their health. There are many ways
that health is promoted, or example, health education. Health education may ineolee
things such as healthy eating campaigns.
Healthy eating campaigns
healthy eating campaigns are things such as 'Change 4 Li e' and '5 a day', the current
recommendations are that people should eat at least fee portions o a eariety o ruit
and eeg a day, this is in order to try to reduce the risk o illnesses such as cancer and
coronary heart disease and many other chronic diseases. Howeeer, right now in the UK,
the aeerage daily portion o ruit and eeg is around three portions a day. The
goeernments '5 a day' programme currently has fee strands, these are underpinned by
an eealuation and monitoring programme. These are; National school ruit scheme, local
'5 a day' initiatiees, nationalllocal partners-goeernment health consumer groups,
communications programme, including '5 a day' logo and work with industry, including
producers, caterers and retailers.
Standards or school lunches
Another example o how health is promoted is through a campaign called, standards or
school lunches, the school ood trust was commissioned in 2005 in order to adeise
ministers on standards or ood in schools. These standards are or school lunches and
other kinds o oods that are proeided in all schools that are locally maintained in
England. For school lunches, there are two sets o standards. The frst standard is, ood-
based, this defnes the kinds o ood that should be ofered in a school lunch and the
requency with which they are ofered to children and young people. The second
standard is nutrient-based, this will determine the portions o nutrients that children
and young people should receiee rom a school lunch. It has also been decided by the
goeernment that similar standards should apply to all ood in school not only lunches,
this was recommended by the school ood trust. This would mean that no con ectionery
will be sold in schools, no bagged saeoury snacks other than nuts and seeds will be sold
in school, but there must be no added salt, a eariety o ruit and eegetables should be
aeailable in all school ood outlets - this can include resh, dried, rozen, canned or juiced
earieties, and fnally, children and young people need to haee easy access at all times to
ree, resh drinking water in schools.
