Welcome to the Nutrition section of GetFit!

For many employees, getting enough healthy nutrition is an ongoing challenge. Long shifts, lack of nutritious foods on the job, lack of time to make healthy meals, and a high level of stress at work or at home are some of the reasons.

But eating right is one of the best things that people can do for their overall health and well-being. It is critical for healthy pregnancies and healthy development in childhood and adolescence. In adults, good nutrition (when combined with appropriate exercise):

• Boosts the immune system, so it can do a better job of fighting illnesses
• Can help prevent or reduce many serious conditions associated with unhealthy eating, such as obesity, type-2 diabetes, some cancers, cardiovascular diseases, dental diseases, arthritis, and osteoporosis
• Helps maintain strong bones and muscles
• Is the fuel needed for energy and endurance
• Improves mood and alertness
• Enhances productivity
• Can add quality years to one’s life

This section of GetFit gives quick access to many facts and tools that can be used to increase healthy nutrition.
