三分之一的上班族寧愿多睡幾分鐘也不愿去花幾分鐘吃早餐,一項調(diào)查指出,不良的飲食習(xí)慣是導(dǎo)致工作效率大量流失的罪魁禍首。
Ipsos Mori 的一項調(diào)查表明,在英國,17%的上班族從來不吃早餐,還有17%的人一周只吃一到三次早餐.
接受調(diào)查的1051人中,8%的人習(xí)慣性的不吃午餐,由此估計,這些不良飲食習(xí)慣每年給公司造成170億英鎊(340億美元)的損失,這些損失相

“在工作時間那些幾乎不吃或從來不吃午餐的人以及那27%從來不吃早餐的人,很讓人擔(dān)擔(dān)憂” Ipsos Mori 研究員稱。
受飲食服務(wù)公司- BaxterStorey委托的這項調(diào)查估算,不吃早餐給公司造成81億英鎊的損失,這些損失相當(dāng)于浪費了4650萬個工作日。許多研

其他不良飲食習(xí)慣,諸如不吃早餐或午餐,也包括不吃早餐和茶點,使得生產(chǎn)力流失造成的損失飚升至170億英鎊
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)92%的上班族都吃午餐,他們之中68的人選擇三明治當(dāng)午餐,但是大多數(shù)人飲水量不足,只有11%的人想建議的那樣每天喝8杯水,甚者

“吃過早餐的人注意力能夠更好的集中,更好的解決問題,也能有更好的表現(xiàn)精神面貌,更好的記憶力和心情。”
“吃過早餐,人們會更加精力充沛,圣體住那個礦業(yè)會更好”營養(yǎng)學(xué)家Matt說到
研究表明,不吃早餐的人在記憶力測試中得分比吃過早餐的人得分低15%,不吃早餐使得他們效率低下,而他們在晚餐及午餐更傾向于吃含糖,

A third of office workers would rather grab a few minutes extra sleep than breakfast, according to a survey that estimated poor eating habits were costing companies dearly in terms of lost productivity.
A survey by Ipsos Mori found 17 percent of British office workers never have breakfast and 17 percent have it just one to three times a week.
It found eight percent of 1,051 office staff questioned also regularly skip lunch, with these poor eating habits estimated to be costing companies 17 billion pounds ($34 billion) a year or 97 million lost working days.
"Worryingly, of those who rarely or never eat lunch, 27 percent also never eat breakfast during the working week," said Ipsos Mori researchers in a statement.
The survey, commissioned by food service company BaxterStorey, estimated skipping breakfast cost companies 8.1 billion pounds or 46.5 million lost working days, with many studies finding a link between eating breakfast and attention span, learning ability and general well-being.
When other poor eating habits such as having no breakfast and lunch or having no breakfast and snacks, are included, lost productivity rocketed to nearly 17 billion pounds.
The survey found most employees -- 92 percent -- have lunch, with 68 percent opting for sandwiches, but most people don't drink enough during the day. Only 11 percent had the recommended eight or more drinks during the working day.
"People who eat breakfast have better concentration, problem solving ability, mental performance, memory and mood.
People who eat breakfast are also more physically energetic and have better coordination," said nutrition specialist Matt Barker.
"Research tells us that scores on memory tests were about 15 percent lower in people who skipped breakfast. And those who skip it tend to eat sugary, fatty foods later in the day, reducing their productivity."
