Having a packed schedule during work not only prevents you from finding time to eat, but also presents a challenge for healthy eating.In this new Navigate Nursing webinar, you'll learn how shiftwork affects your metabolism as well as how eating patterns can positively counterbalance this change in metabolism. With the risk of increased insulin resistance, inflammation, and obesity among nurses who do shiftwork, it's important to understand the impact of daily nutrition. Choosing the right healthy foods can make all the difference when working variable or long shifts.
