Health is one of the most important values for an individual. A key factor in maintaining health is healthy nutrition, which, as part of a healthy lifestyle, significantly affects physical and mental well-being, energy, mood, and the long-term productivity of employees. In the context of workplace health promotion, encouraging healthy eating habits is becoming an increasingly important component, but in practice, it is often neglected or limited to symbolic measures. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the concepts of health, care for health, social inequalities, capital in relation to health, healthy nutrition, and health promotion with a focus on healthy eating in the workplace. In the empirical part, I used a basic descriptive analysis that included ten interviews. The results show that individuals are generally motivated to eat healthily, but face numerous obstacles, ranging from a lack of time and appropriate spaces to insufficient systemic support from employers. Although employers often express support, measures are frequently unsystematic and left to individuals, more precisely, to employees. I conclude that effective promotion of healthy nutrition in the workplace requires comprehensive support, including employee involvement, adequate infrastructure, and active leadership.
