Improve Your Team’s Culture Through Healthy Snacking

Written by Metro Admin | 03/30/2015

Many people don’t realize that stress levels can be affected by poor choices in snack foods. Sometimes, just a change in what you snack on can help you stay more focused and productive.

Before we delve into the reasons how healthy eating at your Tysons Corner office space leads to improved work performance, it’s important to examine what may be poor snack choices.

Don’t Eat This

When stressed, comfort food such as a big, fat, juicy hamburger or a bag of chips might feel like it is helping. Many people feel that eating their comfort food helps them get through a busy day at work. The reality is that many of the meals and snacks we eat only increases our stress levels and ends up causing us to “crash” before the workday ends. This, in turn, affects how we deal with other people and can potentially hurt the office dynamic.

Eat That

Consistently eating a healthy lunch as well as snacks can help you get through the work day feeling better. Fruits and vegetables top the list of helpful foods that keep you balanced through the day and prevent “crashing” as the day goes on. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and nutrients that help you stay more alert and focused. For beverages, fresh juice is a much better alternative to soda and water is the best.

If you want to improve the work culture in your business, encourage your staff to stay fit. You can help them by moving into an office space that makes it easier for them to do so. Give them access to healthy food options so there will be fewer reasons for them to snack on unhealthy dishes.
