The Finnish Heart Association launched its annual Heart Week on Sunday for the 19th year. This year, the Association reminds parents how important it is for them to set a good example for their children when it comes to exercising, eating healthily, and not smoking.
The Association is also using this as a chance to praise the good start that school lunches give to growing youth.
"School food is one of the cornerstones of a healthy daily life. Enough time should be reserved for it, as for every meal. Lunch is a refreshing break from work for children as well as adults," says the Heart Association's head of development, Marjaana Lahti-Koski.
