What it's about

Healthy nutrition at work ranges from the fruit basket and water- and cooking-campaigns to nutritional counselling. Small rituals change everyday life more than any one-off event.

Why it pays off

What the team eats and drinks determines focus, afternoon energy and, in the long run, the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nutrition offers are cheap, visible and eligible for funding under §20b SGB V.
