Healthy Eating Promotes Healthy Energy

Keeping food for meals and snacks around the office is a great way to keep employees fueled up through the day. It is important, however, to be aware of what is being offered because some foods can lead to decreased productivity and fatigue.

For breakfast, avoid the usual donut and pastry tray and offer an assortment of fresh fruits and veggies. You can be creative with dipping options to make things a bit more interesting by offering yogurt or flavored olive oils.

Offering snacks such as greek yogurt, organic granola, and nuts can provide vitamins, protein and some healthy fats to give the brain a boost.

Instead of sodas and sugary drinks, give options like bottled water, naturally flavored water, or sparkling water to keep employees hydrated. Another healthy and tasty option (that looks pretty too) is to fill a large spicket vessel with filtered water and freshly cut citrus fruits.

Keeping healthy produce in an accessible area such as a break room or conference table makes employees more likely to choose healthy snacks instead of searching for a vending machine for a candy bar or bag of chips.
