As summer comes to an unfortunate close, you might find yourself transitioning from your summer schedules back to the structured routine of office life. With this shift, opens an opportunity to reflect on your routine and wellness, especially nutrition. The importance of workplace wellness has been presented as a vital factor in prioritising your health as you return to your work and office routine. As we settle back into the office, it is the perfect time to focus on improving your daily nutrition and set those helpful habits! 

Tips for Healthy Eating  

1.Plan and Prepare Meals 

Plan some time for meal prep each week! Making time to prepare meals and snacks for the week ahead will set you up for eating well when you’re pushed for time commuting to and from work. Alternatively, building a meal plan using our FuelWizard to include healthy breakfasts would save you the time in the morning! Meals like overnight oats or breakfast muffins makes one less thing to think about in the mornings! 

2.Snack Smartly 

Make a list of healthy snack options that you can add to the shopping list, including the delicious GourmetFuel snacks! Having fruit/veg chopped up and in containers or a bag of nuts at your desk will help you avoid reaching for those less healthy options when hunger strikes. 

3.Hydration is Key 

Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased concentration. Keep a water bottle on your desk and set reminders to drink regularly. Try herbal teas or infused water as a refreshing alternative to plain water. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining energy levels and concentration
