Workplace Nutrition & Healthy Eating

Recognising the benefits of healthy eating and nutrition in the workplace is a staple of the traditional wellbeing strategy, but keeping your employees up to date with the specific areas of nutrition that affect them personally is the best way to engage staff in healthy eating and nutrition – for their personal wellbeing as well as performance and effectiveness at work.

We are excited to be offering a new range of nutrition workshops (in-person or online), and cooking demonstrations in your workplace.

Foods for Thought

The working day is not a sprint but a mini-marathon, and staying mentally sharp, concentrating and performing effectively at work involves the art of strategic refuelling.

Menopause is often a time for women to take stock and reassess how their lifestyle habits are serving them, including nutrition and the types of foods consumed.
