What should I eat?

In a busy work-place such as ours, every little bit we can do to make life a little easier, better and healthier is well worth the effort. Like many companies, we’ve made wellness a priority at Bader Rutter, believing that employee wellness is a key component in inspiring creativity and innovation. Part of our overall initiative to encourage better mental and physical health includes bringing in guest speakers to offer advice and insight on topics such as exercising smarter and eating more healthfully.

Recently, Kim the Dietician, a registered dietician with the Wisconsin Athletic Club, shared information and tips on consuming carbohydrates, fats and proteins. A well-balanced diet typically includes all three of these nutritional building blocks — contrary to what many fad diets promote. According to Kim, it’s extremely important to choose a diet that incorporates the mix of carbs, fats and proteins that’s right for you and your lifestyle, and is something you can stick with to promote a happy and healthy life.

Check out her “Nutrition Made Easy” presentation, which includes guidelines for choosing good carbohydrates, identifying sources of protein, and selecting fats that promote heart health and brain function. Kim’s presentation was well-received by our associates, so we thought we’d share it with our blog readers as well.

Bon Appétit!
