Help! College Student, Writing a Report On Nutrition. Posted: 06-08-04 19:04pm
I'm writing a report on how a healthy diet
in the workplace can increase
productivity. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Or first hand experience?

As I am totally unhealthy, i'm not sure
that i'm really the right person to
respond but just my two bits worth>.
Anyone who is not eating a reasonably
healthy diet is likely to get sick or be
more prone to moods (due to such things as
highs & lows in blood sugar) both of
which would make them less happy in
general & also less pleasant to be
around as well as less productive (you
don't work your best if you're not feeling
well/happy etc) but their poor eating
habits would also have a negative effect
on the productivity of others - if a
person is rude or thoughtless to you or
not doing their share of the work then
your productivity suffers too.
So poor nutrition affects those you work
with as well as you.
Another point to consider too is that so
many people have reactions to the over
processed foods, fats, carbohydrates,
sugars (from add/adhd to irritable bowel
syndrome - ibs) and while these
allergies/reactions, inability of the body
to metabolize certain foods (eg in ibs) go
undiagnosed &/or untreated people will
feel & sometimes actually be quite ill
- this can affect them emotrionally,
behaviourally & physically or all of
these.
The importance of decent/reasonable
nutrition (of a type that does not
negatively affect you) is heightened by
the pressures of todays lifestyle &
work places.
