Gulf Indian High School observed the Health and Wellness Week from 14.4.19-18.4.19-an
initiative to focus on student health and wellness.
ADDING COLOR TO SCHOOL MENU
Students were informed to bring only healthy Tiffin and encouraged to eat more fruits
and vegetables. “Adding color to school menu” is an innovative project launched by GIHS
in 2018to direct them towards healthy eating habits. Students were asked to include one
fruit and one vegetable every day according to the color code in their school menu.
Fruit and vegetables fall into five different color categories: red, purple/blue, orange,
green and white/brown. Each color carries its own set of unique disease fighting
chemicals called phytochemicals. It is these phytochemicals that give fruits and
vegetables their vibrant color and of course some of their healthy properties.
