Ideas for participation

• Provide a heart-healthy lunch.
• Ask your leadership to speak about their interest in employee health.
• Provide employees a fruit or vegetable snack. An apple, orange, clementine or small sack of mixed fruit makes a great “desk drop.”
• Replace candy bowls with fruit bowls.
• Create a “doughnut-free and muffin-free zone” and instead offer nonfat/low-fat yogurt or oatmeal with healthy toppings like fresh or dried fruits and unsalted nuts.
