Healthy Snacks in the Office, should it?

There is one article in “Business Week”, which call attention to themselves. Reported that the health benefits for U.S. businesses and result in high wastage of waste Enterprises. Then the companies make an investigation, to determine whether the cause? Apparently, the report says food, the consumption of unhealthy foods, sweets, junk food, and the work of employees who sit all day and had unhealthy food that causes the amount of waste in health care.

Finally, many companies go to “solutions” for its employee with the goal step is to reduce waste from the healthcare budget. Due to the improved health of their employees, many companies began to replace coffee in the office lunch menu with a healthy diet. Even Google, first of all replaced with a healthy snack, but after a large number of complaints by staff, Google has finally added a solution of 50:50. There is a menu of snacks and sweets or junk food evenly on the shelves where the free food.

This approach is necessary if knowledge is pretty low on health it is difficult to find healthy menu while working in the office. Safe food supply for the office certainly helps us to improve a healthy life. But it is very unfortunate that some of the comments that are in the Business Week magazine, said it was not reasonable and the weight does not determine health. Some say that being overweight, but keep the exercise is better than the ideal weight but sitting behind a desk and never exercising.

There is also a comparison between “return to work late” due to obesity and agile in the management of smokers is a waste of time to smoke than labor productivity. Who has more weight does not mean that they do not quickly through the management and response, said that managing a large number of smokers and a waste of time for the things that are not useful.

Health is an individual decision, no need to compare it with others. We are healthy, we are sick to all of our own to cope. The provision of healthy menus in the cafeterias of the company is very important. Since we know all this time, it is very difficult to find a solution to the healthy menu “healthy lifestyle” support.
