But there’s an often-overlooked factor that can have a major influence on daily output: the food your team eats.
Research in the British Journal of Nutrition revealed that people who ate a low glycaemic index (GI) breakfast maintained stronger attention and focus than those who consumed high-GI meals. Consistent blood sugar levels are critical to avoiding mid-morning crashes and dips in concentration that cost time and performance.
From an economic standpoint, better focus equals better output. If each employee loses just 20 minutes of productivity per day due to poor nutrition, that’s more than 80 hours a year. Multiply that across your workforce, and the costs become obvious. Conversely, investing in balanced, low-GI meals for your staff can directly translate into higher performance and measurable returns.
Providing access to healthy, brain-supportive meals isn’t a fluffy perk – it’s a smart business move that supports sustained cognitive performance, improves attention, and reduces costly distractions.
