With frightening statistics recently published regarding childhood obesity, it has been reiterated time and time again that we simply need to educate our children about healthy living – and this is exactly what Mick Rochford is doing with Planet Munchie.

 

Planet Munchie is a gaming app that is specially designed to educate children about healthy eating and exercise, in the most fun way.

 

Engineered to work like gaming phenomenon Moshi Monsters, but with a healthy twist, Planet Munchie is working to encourage little ones to take up sports and adopt a healthy attitude towards food.

 

Mick and the team at Planet Munchie are now working with Dr Donal O’Shea to make the app even more beneficial, adapting it as a tool to change behaviours towards curating a healthy lifestyle.

 

The team are also currently collaborating with Aoife Hearne of Operation Transformation on a recipe section for mums and their children to use together.

 

With Planet Munchie already available to download on Android, it is set to launch on iOS in September.
