Facts and Figures

• A recent audit on whether NHS trusts were healthy working environments by the Royal College of Physicians showed that only 28 percent of trusts had an obesity plan, two thirds did not offer healthy food options for staff working irregular hours, and many had poor access to health promotional activities. Healthy staff are more productive and have less days off sick, yet 50 percent of trusts audited failed to make the link between health and well-being and long term sickness.
• Blood sugar dips 3 hours after you eat. Eating small frequent snacks keeps your metabolism revved up and also helps normalise blood sugar
• Poor sugary snacks give you a quick jolt of energy that is followed by a 'crash' that leave you hungry, cranky, sleepy and unable to concentrate.
• According to estimates from Public Health England, two thirds of adults and a quarter of children between two and 10 years old are overweight or obese. Obese children are more likely to become overweight adults and to suffer premature ill health and mortality, and by 2034, 70 percent of adults are expected to be overweight or obese. This challenge will not go away.
• Data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey in 2008/2009 showed that only a third of adults were meeting the government target of 5-a-day for fruit and vegetables.
