StressedWorkers
Healthy snacks for stressed office workers is a key new business opportunity for food manufacturers, we reported last month.
The claims were based on a study conducted by Herbalife in conjunction with food psychologist Dr Barbara Stewart-Knox of the Northern Ireland Centre for Food and Health (NICHE). It showed a strong link between work-related stress and workers likelihood to snack on unhealthy foods high in fat, sugar and salt.
Gavin Stainton, director of product innovation at Herbalife, said if workers were to avoid problems caused by their unhealthy diet, such as obesity and the complications it can cause, then they would need to be encouraged to eat more healthily.
