Eating a high fiber diet can drastically reduce:

• colon cancers
• polyps
• rectal abscesses
• and pockets of inflammation

These can be irritating and painful, and affect productivity at work. Eat whole grains, fruit, or take a fiber supplement to insure you are eating correctly. The general rule of thumb for determining if you have enough fiber in your diet: does it sink or swim? Ask your nutritionist or medical doctor for further information.

What you can do if you’re an employer:

• consider high fiber options for your vending machines
• encourage employee’s to have annual checkups
• post healthy eating information on employee bulletin boards
• create an educational program for your employees outlining healthy eating habits (contact Proof:Positive for more information or consulting options)
