Salubria - The Health Game

Thursday 27th September 2012 saw the launch of a new question-and-answer card game.  This resource promotes the benefits of healthy living in a straightforward, interactive and fun way - especially important at a time when two thirds of the Irish population are either overweight or obese!  The game was developed in the Republic of Ireland with the help of health professionals, including obesity expert Dr Donal O’Shea, dietician Cathy Breen, and fitness expert Philip Phelan.  ‘Salubria’ comprises 200 questions covering the topics of nutrition, fitness, healthy living and general knowledge.  It seeks to teach children the importance of healthy living, and to remind adults to build upon good habits and ditch the bad ones.  It is suitable for ages 10 years and upwards.  Visit www.salubriathehealthgame.com for more information.
