Last post, we talked about what should be in a healthy plate of food. I thought of sharing this infographic on workplace wellness courtesy of Compliance and Safety. Most of us work either in a typical office, an institution or even at home. When we work, we need to be well-nourished to sustain us for the day's tasks. I think it's something that employers (or home owners) must not overlook so as to get the optimum productivity out of everyone. I have already sent a copy of this to our human resources manager as well as the manufacturing manager. Hope it gets a good exposure somehow. A lot of workers could really benefit from this.
I do hope companies pay more attention to the kind of food available in their pantries. Even when the food isn't free, or subsidized, it would help if they have regulations about what can be served.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% Vera. It's one of those things that is somehow neglected or put on the sides. I believe it's one of those small things that greatly impact productivity in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI agree, if the employees are well-noursihed, everyone in the company will benefit from the result.
ReplyDeleteWow, Aileen, that would be nice. If employer ka, hire me ha? ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish the managers I sent this too will take this into consideration :-)
ReplyDeleteEmployee lang din ako hahahah! But if I were an employer, it would be a must na only healthy foods will be served sa canteen.
ReplyDeletei think this idea could work on schools as well, canteens should offer healthy foods rather than junkfoods and sodas
ReplyDeletevery informative
ReplyDeleteI remember some years ago, a school did that. Before, kids were agitated and hyperactive. They introduced whole, natural foods in the cafeteria. Little by little, it was observed that there was less aggression and kids performed better and were in better moods. All because they stopped serving junk in the cafeteria. As they say, garbage in, garbage out. They did the reverse of that.
ReplyDeleteeating junk food eventually leads you to eating more while eating fruits will give you a full tummy for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very informative and I think all cafeterias must advocate healthy eating too for their employees to be productive and not feel sluggish especially towards their end of shift :)
ReplyDeleteI think I should copy this and forward it to my children's school administrator. This is really something that we should all follow for a better and healthy living. :-)
ReplyDeletevery informative Ms. aileen..hmm I hope habaan na lang nila ang breaktime natin mga empleyado para mka-kain ng husto hehehe.. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, sis. Very helpful. Since "a little bit of dark chocolate goes a long way..." it's a great excuse for me to indulge every now and then with a handful of chocolates. ;-) Kidding... ;-)
ReplyDeleteSchools do this, it's time workplaces should do this as well. :)
ReplyDeleteGood food at work, specially when working at home, seems to be impossible, at least in my case. I tend to eat anything the kitchen has to offer.
ReplyDeleteI love dark chocolate, nuts and seed. I can eat those instead of junk. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start preparing more of these type of food for the family. My little boy has been getting too much processed meat and junk. Must be the reason also why he's so hyper these days.
ReplyDeleteOoohh I love Dark Chocolates! :) If only corporate offices could supply us with free goodies, I'm sure they could expect highly productive employees. hehehe!
ReplyDeleteI advocate for this too. Sometimes we forget that we spend as much time at work as we do at home. Healthy food should never be neglected.
ReplyDeleteNice infographic. Proves the point that you should eat well so that your work life isn't affected in ways such as sleepiness
ReplyDeleteThis is very ideal and should be promoted not only in schools but also in offices both private and public and even at homes too. The effectiveness of this lies on the hands of the government. They should be serious in considering health projects that could benefit the community and the country as a whole.
ReplyDeletePS. Sorry Sis, na late ang comment ko, nagloloko kasi comp namin at home.
ok lang ba to share this to our HR too? :-)
ReplyDelete-no shrieking for me this week...hihi :D
I take note of this :) Very informative :D
ReplyDeleteBtw, I am confused of your font weight :D It changes when I land on the home page then view the full article from lighter weight to bold.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting! :) First time for me actually to consider if what I eat affects my productivity. hehe Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletethats so nice to hear, i think i need to apply this at home, lalu na magsosoft diet na c babe when he turned 6months :) pero xempre the dicispline will start from me, im craving of soda and junkfoods lately e...
ReplyDeletefollowing you! nice blog.. very inspiring to shift into a healthy lifestyle,..
ReplyDeleteAnother great health tips for us. We have free meals before but the food only relies on what the canteen is cooking everyday. Mostly oily and unhealthy foods. It's just a relief that it was removed and converted to cash na lang. Hehe
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye
Good food plus exercise is a good health. :D I'll follow this advice. :D
ReplyDeletei couldn't help but agree that the right food should be served in the workplace as well as the school cafeteria....kahit na alam ko i crave for junks sometimes :P
ReplyDeleteI like your post, sis :) It is very informative. I find it difficult to munch o healthy foods while pulling an all nighter :(
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful for awareness of eating healthy in the workplace.
ReplyDeleteHappy to find dark chocolates are good :)
