Fostering Health and Wellness: Nutrition & Fitness Approaches – 1 Day Workshop

While it's most important for an employer to provide a safe and healthy workplace, it's also important to encourage healthy lifestyles among their employees. Health and wellness programs can be an important step.

When a workplace can help employees to make wise food choices and be active, as part of a workplace health program, it can influence the person’s long-term health and wellness.

Together – healthy eating and active living – combined with a positive outlook can lead to:

• Reduced risk of diseases like heart disease and some forms of cancer.
• Elevated mood, energy, and self-esteem.
• Reduced anxiety and stress.
• Be productive and thrive in their career.

This session is aimed to educate and create awareness of nutrition and physical activities, and encourage and support individuals to take ownership of their own health and well-being.
