Only 7% of Office Workers Eat Healthy

The main reason I write about staying healthy in the workplace is because many of us spend more than half of our waking hours behind a desk or on the road…

Just today I saw a report showing that only 7% of those surveyed felt they ate better at work than at home. The main reason for the poor nutritional choices was due to the overwhelming amount of temptations at the office.

So, although the majority of the people at your work most likely want to eat better (#1 request was fresh produce) it seems that it just takes 1 or 2 people to bring in snacks, candy, or take-out food to ruin everyone else’s healthy eating game plan.

My suggestion is that you get these “enablers” to put away their candy stash and join you (and the rest of the office) on starting a new healthy living program. I’m willing to bet you’ll find the majority of the people in your office interested in joining your fight against weight gain and together you can work on eliminating junk food from the office, starting up a lunch time walking group, and making more positive healthy living choices.
