One of my friends used to eat whatever she wanted–frequently unhealthy foods–and it showed in her attendance record at work. This year, she has begun to eat more fruits and vegetables and has added occasional exercise to her routine. Is it coincidence that she’s stopped using all her sick days and no longer cuts her days short because she just doesn’t feel well?

A new study says that’s NOT coincidence, and its results apply to everyone.

Employers who encourage healthy lifestyle choices in their employees will reap the dividends. Sounds like a win-win to me!
