Nutrition

Healthy nutrition at work reduces fatigue, improves concentration and cuts long-term illness — and is eligible for statutory health-insurance funding.

What is this field of action about?

The canteen as a health-management tool: if you design the offer to be healthy, you don't need forced programmes. Nudging concepts (making healthy options more visible) often achieve better results than bans.

Why does this field of action pay off?

Poor nutrition costs concentration – especially after lunch. Health insurers subsidise certified nutrition courses for their members (§ 20 SGB V, German law).
