I had the pleasure of hosting a British Dietetic Association (BDA) Work Ready webinar today, where Frankie Phillips spoke to colleagues at Quorn Foods about how our food choices can help us get the most out of the working day. When it comes to what we eat, pragmatism is key (especially when we are all leading such busy lives) and there are many simple steps people can take to improve their diet, such as drinking more fluid ☕ 🥛 & snacking smart 🍉 🥕 🌰 to help improve our performance in all aspects of our lives. It's all too easy to get caught up in the negative media messages when it comes to food, when that is just not helpful! Instead, focus on what we should be eating more of (fruit, veg, wholegrains) to make healthy and sustainable eating easier, rather than focusing on the negatives. So, if you've not had a Work Ready dietitian come speak to your team yet about how we can all eat that little bit smarter, I'd highly recommend it! It was great to see everyone sharing their experiences & top tips for good nutrition as well as see the high level of engagement in the topic and receive so many questions. Thank you to Louise Durrant PhD RD and Emma Lanza for all your hard work to make this happen and of course to Frankie for a fabulous session. ll.
