Nutrition Month: Eating 9 to 5!

Rushed mornings, no time for a lunch break, food-filled meetings, workplace celebrations and end of day dinner struggles; workday challenges can make it difficult to eat well.

Eating well at work can boost concentration, productivity and vitality. It can also reduce missed days of work by helping to improve overall health.

The goal of the 2015 national Nutrition Month campaign is to inspire Canadians to eat better at work and make other positive changes for a healthier workplace and nutrition environment.

The Nutrition Month campaign focuses on five common challenging times workers report facing from 9 am to 5 pm:

• Rushed Mornings
• Meetings, Events and the Workplace
• Lunchtime
• Mid-Day Slump
• Commuter Cravings

A travelling info booth will set up shop at different hospitals for each week of March. At the booth, there will be:

• Dietitians to talk all about eating better at work and answer any of your questions
• Fun and educational activities with prizes
• Resources to help make it easier to eat healthy from 9 to 5
