Food Holds the Body and Soul Together

It has always been said that good food not only fills you up, but it is also good for your spiritual equilibrium. Scientists have taken up this issue and come to the same conclusion after much research.
The common lunch at LASER COMPONENTS has been an integral part of the corporate culture since 1993. Unlike other companies, our employees do not have to pay for their visit to the cafeteria. “As practical as being located in an industrial park is for business reasons, it is quite difficult for employees to access a warm meal at lunchtime. This is why my father made the decision relatively early on to hire a cook and offer employees an ‘in-house’ solution,’” explains Patrick Paul, general manager at Laser Components. This offer was immediately received with open arms.

The lunch offered daily has another positive effect: This is a time when employees from different departments, who may not normally have many opportunities to interact, get a chance to see each other and meet up. This is an excellent chance to discuss certain topics outside of official meetings. And of course, it is a great opportunity to discuss topics “unrelated to company business,” such as vacation experiences and weekend soccer matches.

Patrick Paul is convinced: “Our cafeteria is not only a place for collective food intake, it is much more the social heart of our company.”

Brain Doping
Did you know that the brain is responsible for approximately 20% of our daily energy consumption?
Competitive athletes are well aware of how to increase their athletic performance through proper nutrition; however, there is still some controversy over how food affects brain activity:: performance lows, fatigue, and lack of concentration can be avoided by eating right. Admittedly, this will not lead to the development of a superbrain, but it is the key to increasing stress resilience and preventing depression. This is the approach taken by the European study “MooDFood,” which will be completed in 2020.
