How a Wellness Coach Can Help With Nutrition
Unfortunately, when it comes to the office, nutrition tends to go out the window. We need to take a quick lunch break, so we head off to the closest fast food place or grab a granola bar that doesn’t have enough nutrition in it. When things get stressful, people tend to react by eating too much or too little. Having a wellness coach assess nutrition in your office can help improve wellness for all of your employees.
4 Ways a Wellness Coach Can Help Your Office Through Holistic Nutrition
We have a holistic approach to nutrition and wellness at E3. We want your employees to be as healthy as possible and we help achieve these goals through the following was
1. Educating Your Employees About the Right Foods
Many individuals are still convinced that you are eating a healthy diet if you are eating the right amount of calories, but this isn’t the case. You need to be putting the right foods into your body. We need to have balanced diets that a high in lean protein and vegetables and low in simple carbohydrates. Your wellness coach will be able to discuss your employees’ diets with them and find ways to help make sure they are eating correctly.
2. Working With Them to Create a Meal Plan
One of the difficult things for employees to get used to is bringing their own healthy lunches and snacks to work. It is much easier to do this when the meals are planned and prepped so they can grab them from their refrigerators in the morning and head off to work. A wellness coach will be able to work with your employees to create a meal plan and teach them how to create healthy meals.
3. Finding Healthy Ways of Managing Your Stress
Life can be stressful and people often have unhealthy ways of dealing with that stress. As mentioned earlier, people tend to misuse food when they are stressed. We can work with your employees to find beneficial ways that they can manage their stress. We will do a stress mapping for them to assess how stress is affecting them. We can then recommend stress relief tactics that improve their well-being. A corporate fitness regimen for your office can be especially helpful for relieving stress. Also, acupuncture and massage can be a stress reliever.
4. Following Up With Their Health
Often companies have a health consultant come in and give a seminar. This will probably help your employees be healthier for a little while, but they easily fall back into their poor eating habits. A wellness coach will check back in with your employees regularly to make sure that they are sticking to their health regimen and help reassess your employees if changes need to be made.
Investing in a Wellness Coach
Investing in a wellness coach can make a world of difference for your employees and this can improve your business. When your employees are healthier, they are more energized and they are more productive in their work. It can boost morale and simply create a better work environment.
