Locum dieticians 'should recommend the eating of breakfast'
Tuesday 31st August 2010
Locum dieticians may like to consider advising people to eat breakfast, as one nutritional therapist has said that failure to partake in this repast can affect productivity in the workplace.
Dora Walsh, founder of Nutriheal, made this observation in response to research from Best Western stating that choice of food early in the morning could have an impact on a range of behaviours, such as creativity or the ability to cope with stress.
This study - published on August 27th - indicated that, while four out of five agree that breakfast is essential for a good day, one-third lack the time to have it.
Furthermore, many are not consuming the meal in the right way, either standing up, at their desks or spending fewer than five minutes on it.
Ms Walsh recommended stocking fridges with items such as kippers - which should be grilled - wholegrain toast, eggs, bananas, nuts and porridge.
