Nutrition

What you eat — or don't eat — may help prevent heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and type 2 diabetes.

Employees spend a considerable amount of time eating in their work place. Access to quality foods and nutrition consultations can directly influence one's risk for disease and quality of life.

WorkWell MA pairs employees only with professional Registered Dietitians. Registered Dietitians are qualified to provide the most accurate advice for nutrition help.

Fitness

Healthy body = Healthy mind.

Regular physical activity has been proven to relieve stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Sitting for long periods of time has been shown to increase risk for hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and even causes back pain. Getting up, moving around, and standing up during the work day is crucial. Whether it be yoga, running, weight lifting, or dancing -- any and all exercise benefits the body.
