At almost 4.2 million registered nurses in the United States, nurses make up the largest portion of America’s healthcare professions. With long hours and high-stress situations, many of us find it difficult to eat a decent meal while on the job.
Chronic stress has been associated with increasing appetite and preference for high fat and high sugar foods. This can lead to obesity and eventually chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoarthritis.
For some of us, their day-to-day meals consist of cafeteria food, fast food, or a simple granola bar at the nurses station. Skipped meals are all too common.
Here are five ways you can tweak your at-work eating habits to get more fruits, veggies, and delicious proteins in your diet to keep you going and help your patients.
