Get the most out of your meetings. Choose brain food, not drain food!
One way to help you get the most out of your next meeting or event is to eat right. Foods can help you stay energized and research shows that eating well at work can boost your concentration and productivity.
Does your workplace promote integrating healthy eating into the work setting? Are there easy-to-follow plans to create and support healthier meetings and events? Here are seven starter suggestions to overcome meeting challenges and help you fuel your day at work the healthy way.
- Offer fruit and/or vegetables every time food is served.
