Healthy Workplace Food Options Help Protect Employees in Coronavirus Times
Many, if not most of us, are vaccinated. Little by little we’re returning to work—cautiously, perhaps slowly, but we’re getting there. So now that we’re starting to see “the other side” of the pandemic, how can we stay safe and healthy as we transition back into the workplace?
We can own our own health.
As a start, we can eat better. For years many of us carb- and fried food- lovers have turned a blind eye to the 5-A-Day campaign which emphasizes the importance of consuming fresh fruits and vegetables for better health. Now Americans quite possibly have been scared straight into dropping that plate of fries and reaching for a bowl of fresh fruit and a plate of crudité. The nearly 600,000 American deaths caused by the coronavirus seem to be doing in one year what the fear of diabetes and heart disease couldn’t do in over 20: They got Americans to change their diet—or at least try to.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system.
When we boost our immune systems, we increase our body’s level of protection against the coronavirus and disease in general. As we return to the workplace, often dashing out the door to catch the bus or train, the temptation to grab a quick hot dog from a street vendor at lunchtime is great. We know we should eat better, but it’s not that easy when we’re crunching numbers or meeting deadlines. It’s too easy to grab a bag of chips or whatever the office vending machine might drop instead of venturing further out for something healthier.
