Healthy Routines Lead to Productive Lives

Let me ask you a question: Do you think nutrition affects productivity and good relationships in the workplace? The correct answer is, yes. Big Time.

We all know that our state of health affects our sharpness of mind and our attitudes. Therefore, if our bodies are not getting a regular supply of nutritious food and healthy energy, we will suffer at work. Poor nutrition can affect our sense of good reasoning, our positive feelings, our attentiveness, and most importantly our creativity.

To ensure that you don’t go through too many drastic peaks and valleys in your energy levels at work, you need to get a good supply of high quality nourishment on a regular, scheduled basis. This includes the almighty breakfast, which is the most commonly skipped meal.

Try working on your nutrition this week, and consider these 2 simple health tips:

1) In addition to eating a substantial breakfast, schedule small, healthy snack breaks to avoid the distraction of hunger and the temptation to visit the snack machine.

2) Do not make any major decisions right before lunch, and avoid beginning any taxing work at that time. You will either feel hungry and rushed, or you will skip lunch entirely.

Although I am not a health or nutrition coach per se, I have strong personal convictions about the body-mind connection. I enjoy sharing how nutrition and exercise can help this valuable connection, affecting many areas of life for the better.
