“I am pleased to be supporting healthy body, happy me 2010. It’s great to see so many nurseries getting involved in the campaign to give children positive experiences of a healthy lifestyle. The campaign is a great opportunity for children to experience and enjoy cooking. They can sample a wide range of healthy foods and learn about fun activities that will help keep them active.
I encourage all nurseries to get involved in NDNA’s healthy body, happy me campaign and to hold their own events during the celebration week.”
Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson, DBE – Gold medallist Paralympic athlete
“Being active is really important for health, but you must find something you really like doing. My daughter and I enjoy riding our bikes in our local park – it’s great fun but is helping to keep us healthy at the same time. Making an activity fun is the easiest way to build it into your life.”
Colin Jackson, Olympic gold medalist
"Childhood obesity is a major concern in the UK, so it’s vital that initiatives such as ‘Healthy body, happy me’ exist to promote the importance of an active childhood.
I believe that it is important to introduce children to a healthy lifestyle as early as possible, as this will have a positive effect on their future."
