Good Workplace Nutrition Increases Productivity!
Did you know that a 2015/16 report by the Health and Safety Executive estimated that 25.9 million working days were lost due to self-reported work-related illness? Not only that, but on average, each person took around 16 days off work, 20 days for ill health cases and 7.2 for injuries.
“Good nutrition is good business and a sound investment. Proper nutrition leads to gains in productivity and worker morale, prevention of accidents and premature deaths, and reductions in health-care costs. For the government, employers and workers, proper nutrition at the workplace is a win-win-win proposition.”
Review commissioned by the United Nations’ International Labor Office 2005

Body Composition Testing
Professional bio-impedance scales and body composition analysis software are used to analyse:
- Weight
- Body Fat Percentage
- Estimated Muscle Mass
- Body Fat Mass
- Fat Free Mass
- Total Body Water
- Body Mass Index (BMI
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Metabolic Age (Compares your BMR to an average for your age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it’s an indication that you need to improve your metabolic rate.)
Each test takes 5 minutes to perform and can be followed by a 5 minute mini-consultation to provide personalised recommendations to improve parameters. This test is ideal for raising general health awareness and encouraging participants to join a wellbeing programme.
Internal Biological Age Testing
Our biological age can be distinct from our chronological age and this works both ways. For example, you could have a chronological age of 50 but a biological age of 40, and vice versa.
This test consists of a fingertip pulse reader which uses scientifically validated technology to calculate your biological, Internal Age (as opposed to your actual chronological age). This is based on assessing the flexibility of the aorta, the largest artery in your body. How supple—or how stiff—you are inside provides a snapshot of your current heart and general health and also allows for objectively tracking health-positive effects of dietary and lifestyle choices on your biological, Internal Age. The test takes only 5 minutes to perform and can be followed by a mini-consultation to provide personalised recommendations to lower Internal Age, and become younger on the inside. Reports contaiing detailed information are sent to participants. People are usually fascinated to see whether their Biological Age differs from their Calendar Age!
This test measures:
- Aortic stiffness
- Oxygen levels
- Internal, Biological Age
- Resting heart rate
