! Feeling good means finding a good balance between my physical and mental health
That’s why we often say: “a healthy mind in a healthy body”.
What does that mean?
If you get ill, your parents are responsible for looking after you and taking you to a doctor or to hospital. Your parents must take care of both your physical and your mental health. You therefore have the right to be well cared for so that you’re as healthy as possible.

Being healthy is much more than just going to the doctor
Eating a healthy diet, drinking clean water and exercising are all important to stay in good shape. It’s therefore important to know which foods are healthy and unhealthy and to understand the advantages of taking regular exercise. When we know these facts, we can take care of our own health!
What does being well cared for mean in Luxembourg?
Au Luxembourg, nous avons la chance d’avoir un système médical qui fonctionne bien. Chaque enfant peut se faire soigner gratuitement dès sa naissance (et même pendant la grossesse) car les coûts médicaux sont pris en charge. Boire de l’eau potable est garanti et tout est mis en œuvre pour manger sainement. Des repas sains et gratuits sont offerts dans les structures d’éducation et d’accueil (maison-relais). Tu peux trouver plein d’infos sur les avantages de manger sainement et de bouger sur le site du 'Gesond liewen – méi bewegen', et t’informer aussi à la journée sportive de ton école.
