One of the best ways to avoid the sugar in pre-packaged foods is to cook for yourself or bring lunch from home. As women entrepreneurs, we have the ability to look at life and business holistically. So how can you help maintain the health of your employees — and your own?

If you have a facility, you can provide a nice eating area with a small sink, 2-burner stove and table and chairs. Make it a pleasant area and don’t fret if people gather there. After all, they don’t call it a “kitchen-table cabinet” for nothing. Great decisions can be made in a kitchen!

Provide time for your employees to prepare and eat meals. Break bread with them from time to time. Synergy will happen, everyone will be more relaxed and healthier.

Finally, the obvious — if you have a vending machine, supply it with fruits, vegetables and nuts.

The cause is usually something that sugar or money can’t buy.
