Heart disease has been the leading cause of death for Americans for 73 years. Year after year it gets more prevalent as many people continue to indulge in unhealthy lifestyle choices such as physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol use and unhealthy diets.

 

Creating a workplace culture that supports employees’ physical health goes beyond offering gym discounts or implementing weight-loss, smoking cessation or wellness programs. Inspire your employees to keep their heart healthy through preventive measures. Encourage them to get up and walk around or take an exercise class instead of spending 8 hours in a sedentary position. Keep healthy snacks in the office as an alternative to motivate them to choose healthy. As an employer, the health of your employees should be of top concern.
