A recent study has recommended eating healthy and living well as a bigger issue than maintaining your waistline, as even poor dietary habits can take a toll on your career.
When we eat well, take in proper nutrients and stay active, we are making the choice not only to ensure our long-term health, but also to impact our long-term success in the workplace.
A 2005 study conducted by the International Labour Organization (ILO) based in Geneva found that poor nutrition negatively impacts the morale, safety and productivity of workers.
It was reported that poor diet on the job is reducing productivity in countries around the world by as much as 20 percent.
This study highlights why working better and furthering your career goals are additional reasons to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
"If you aren't giving your body the tools it needs to function, including a balance of nutrition, rest and activity, you aren't giving your mind the tools it needs to execute mental tasks," said Dr. Dian Griesel, co-founder of the Business School of Happiness, a blog and publisher of books that encourage individuals to ask themselves important questions that will lead to greater self-awareness, happiness, accomplishment and success in everything they do, professionally and personally.
