• Description:
  Objective: While most people know it is important to eat a healthy diet, it isn't always easy to sort through all of the information available about nutrition. Understanding nutrition is a fundamental step to good health and a productive lifestyle. A poor understanding of nutrition and a lack of exercise has lead millions of Americans to co-morbidities including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Methods: Review of Literature Results: By implementation a workplace nutrition education program the Occupational Health Nurse can enable increase productivity, decrease absenteeism, dispel fallacies about nutrition and prevent chronic diseases among his/her workforce. Conclusion: Occupational Health Nurses (OHN) are often the sole healthcare provided in many work facilities and therefore play a vital role in intersecting and/or impeding the incidence of nutrition illiteracy of the workforce.
