Ask Sandi

Question: In the warmer months it's easier to encourage staff to eat more fruit, but do you have any ideas for how we can encourage them to eat more vegetables?

Answer: My biggest reason for loving spring is the vegetables that are in season at this time of year. One of the best ways you can support your employees in their efforts to eat more vegetables is to organize weekly trips to the local farmer's market (or host one at your worksite) to learn about and pick up delicious spring vegetables like asparagus, artichokes, radishes, beets, and chard. You could also organize a weekly organic veggie delivery and set up a salad station in your break room. If your employees want more ideas, direct them to my blog post, Tips For Increasing Your Veggie Intake This Spring.

Testimonial

The representative that I spoke with was helpful and gave me some excellent ideas on what to do when the cravings kicked in. I began to exercise and walk in the evenings, something I would have never done (as a smoker) to help ease the cravings.

I highly recommend your program. I now smell good, my teeth are clean, and when I talk to a smoker, the smell of their breath really is offensive. I never noticed all those things when I smoked. So I thank you for being there and I just wanted to tell you what you teach works.
