Lead the charge in making your work environment healthier.
Employees at workplaces that provide healthy snacks and encourage physical activity and healthful eating are more likely to make positive lifestyle changes compared with employees not exposed to these interventions. "Healthy up" your workplace by supplying a fruit bowl or inviting people to walk with you at lunchtime.

Eating more fruits and vegetables, consuming less red meat, taking vitamins, and increasing physical activity are all great ways to live a healthy lifestyle and protect your health. Now a new study suggests better health could begin in the workplace. In the study, employees who received encouragement at work to live a healthy lifestyle were more likely to do so than people whose workplaces didn't encourage healthy habits. Inquire about healthy snack options for the common area or lunchroom vending machines. Start a fruit bowl program in a common area, in which employees take turns each week filling the bowl. When you hold meetings with colleagues, consider talking while you walk around the building. Keep healthy snacks at your own desk and make lunchtime your exercise time.
