This Week's Theme:
All About Nutrition
With Thanksgiving around the corner, many people across the country will celebrate by spending time with loved ones and most notably, by partaking in Thanksgiving dinner. In light of the upcoming holiday season, this week's theme will focus on nutrition! Even if your goals for this challenge are unrelated to nutrition, take the time to watch this week's short video to learn about how a healthier diet can lead to a healthier world. Nutrition is such an integral part of daily life that we sometimes forget the importance and impact a healthy diet has.
In the context of nutrition, healthy eating patterns are directly correlated with preventing, managing, and reducing the risks of serious health issues. Although the benefits of good nutrition are widely known, there are still many factors that can make eating healthily more difficult. Some of the most commonly cited barriers to good nutrition include ease of access, cost, and time constraints. These factors can be difficult to overcome; however, there are many ways to incorporate healthier options into your lifestyle.
If you have trouble finding ways to improve your diet and nutrition, a great place to start is the Be Well At Work Wellness Program website, specifically our Nutrition Programs! Whether you are interested in recipes, nutrition tips, follow along cooking videos, or even asking advice from a registered dietician, there are many resources throughout the site that can aid in improving your diet and nutrition.
