Written by TRS Staff Member
It’s March! You know what that means… St. Patrick’s Day? The start of Lent? The highly anticipated arrival of Spring? Well, yes…but, it’s also National Nutrition Month! Yes, there is a whole month to simply celebrate nutrition. And, for good reason. Fueling your body with the essential nutrients will provide vitality and energy, help you stay at a healthy weight, prevent chronic diseases and conditions, enhance cognitive well being, and help you achieve your full potential.

The Influence of Co-Workers
Written by Jackie Bracey
I found this great article from @HoustonChronicle on how co-workers are influenced by their peers. http://work.chron.com/coworkers-affect-employee-behavior-4245.html
Essentially, the article by says that all employees are strongly influenced by their co-workers. Some of the key areas where behavior is swayed are “bullying, complaining, productivity, and entrepreneurship”. One of the areas that I have a heightened awareness to that I noticed was missing from the article was wellness.

Exercise at Work

Take a moment and move your bottom to the back of your chair, tighten your abs, and move your shoulders back, adjust your head...now, that's better, isn't it?

Employers' Diabetes Expense
Written by Sandy Greeson
The CDC estimates that 29.1 million people (9.3% of the U.S. population) have diabetes. We’ve been hearing for years about the obesity epidemic in our country, and with that comes a host of other related health problems such as this. But of those people who have diabetes, 27.8% of them are undiagnosed. What does this mean for employers, and what can be done to address this expensive issue?
