Staff Welfare Seminars

The Health and Safety executive have reported that 35% of all work related illness is stress related. (2011)

In terms of working days lost due to work-related stress for people working in the last 12 months of 2010/11: 

  -   Male workers took an estimated 4.9 million days people off work.
  -   Female workers took an estimated 5.9 million days off work.   
  -   On average each person suffering from this condition took 27 days off work.

This is bad news for your productivity and staff morale.  The financial situation is forcing business leaders to cut down on overtime and the expectation is for staff to do more in the working day.  This pressure can lead some people to become “stressed”.

Did you know?

  -   Even a little stress is damaging to the body.
  -   The body will not distinguish a real danger from a perceived one.
  -   The wrong lunch can lead to the afternoon slump.
  -   Going without food for long periods of time, skipping breakfast and eating lunch/ 
       dinner late will all contribute to the stress response and eventually lead to poor 
       performance both mental and physical.
  -   Stress can challenge the ability of the body to maintain health in other areas such
       as immune system, cardiovascular system which can make your employees
       susceptible to more serious illness such as cancer or heart attacks and stroke.

So how can I help?

I am a Nutritional Therapist and chemist The Body Chemist and I understand how we can support the body through stress by simple diet and lifestyle.

I will demonstrate:

  -  How eating the right food at the right time and avoiding the food and drink that can contribute to the stress response can make
      a huge difference to how the body reacts. 

  -  What Natural substances in foods, plants and herbs have been shown to act as natural, safe inhibitors of stress hormones?

  -  What natural substances act as natural energy boosters to help combat feelings of exhaustion?

  -  Why Magnesium is so important and how to get sufficient levels.

So what can you do?

If you are sick and tired of your staff being sick and tired then book a seminar with The Body Chemist and look forward to your staff having:

  -  Increased energy, no more afternoon slump.

  -  Reduced stress

  -  Increased concentration

  -  Increased production

What to expect from a Body Chemist Seminar:
  -  Introduction to the benefits of Nutrition and Nutritional testing.

  -  Presentation on Stress and Nutritional solutions.

  -  Mineral taste testing* (magnesium)
            Magnesium is the body’s anti stress mineral, if they test deficient in this, it is a good indicator that their stress response 
            won’t be as good as it could be. Magnesium is just 1 of 8 different minerals that I can test, and each mineral is used 
            to support different body systems.

  -  Acidity test by pH*
             This gives an indicator on how their body is coping and how acidic their current diet is.
             An acidic body is one where disease and ill health can easily get hold.  

   -  Examples of healthy lunches with breakdown of Nutritional content.

  -  Which clinically effective natural supplements may be useful.

  -  Question and answer session.
 
* Tests take minutes (maximum 25 people per session)
 
Each seminar lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour.
