"EAT FOR GOALS!" IS NOW AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH, POLISH AND RUSSIAN
“Eat for goals!” a cook book which encourages young people to be more conscious of living active lifestyles and eating healthily is now available in English, French, German, Spanish Polish and Russian. “Eat for Goals!” was created under the patronage of Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), World Heart Federation and the European Commission.
The book’s simple message, “A healthy lifestyle is also based on healthy food”, is conveyed by a multi-ethnic group of 13 internationally renowned male and female football players and their food choices. The recipes aim to educate youth and their families on the interdependency between a balanced healthy diet and performance. Each player shares with the readers what he or she loves to eat and gives the recipe for his or her favourite dish. Children are invited to cook and eat like champions. A detailed list of the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for preparing each of the 13 dishes makes it easy for even the less-experienced to make delicious, healthy meals in no time at all.
It is hoped that they, in turn, will question their food choices and adopt healthier eating habits as well as being encouraged to lead more active lifestyles. And for those who want to know more about the relationship between a balanced, healthy diet and performance, which is crucial to footballers, the book also gives the nutritional values per portion as well as plenty of useful food tips.
