Mercedes Employees Intro-Juiced to Health Benefits

Swindon based car dealership Mercedes-Benz teamed-up with newly opened juice bar, The Core, to offer its employees the opportunity to find out the health benefits of a 5-day juice programme.

Starting on Monday 10^th June, 26 members of the company signed-up to The Core’s 5 Day Detox Programme. 

Five days after cutting out all caffeine and any other food intake the results were incredible. A combined total weight loss of around 10 stone as well as reports of better skin, improved sleep and higher levels of energy.

Juicing has been popularised in recent years by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Beverley Knight and Sarah Jessica Parker all going public about the benefits of fresh juices.  

Mike Fellows, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz of Swindon said, “The colourful bottles of juice that arrived each morning were mixture of cucumber cocktails, lemon zingers, super-fruit smoothies, and a host of nutrient-dense juices."

"We wanted to test the theory that creating a healthy workplace keeps employees happier and more productive, and the results speak for themselves. Not only did the initiative bring the work force together, but the mood within the dealership was uplifting and everyone felt a new surge of energy. I would recommend all companies to give the plan a go and see the benefits for themselves.”

Kris Talikowski, owner of The Core, Juice Bar and Holistic Lounge added, “It’s been amazing watching the results of each of the employees at Mercedes-Benz.  I've seen first-hand the impact juicing and a healthy lifestyle can have on people over the last 10 years, including my own, and it’s great to see so many change their views about what they eat in just a five day period.”

The Core currently offers a series of 3, 5, 7 and 10-day programmes. For those who do not typically consume many fruits and vegetables, incorporating fresh juice can be a fun and different approach to increasing consumption.

Consistent intake of nutrient-high raw fruits and vegetables can have dramatic effects on people’s health. In the 10 weeks the Core has been open over 150 people have completed a programme and seen significant changes to their body, health and even conditions like arthritis have been improved with a dietary change and the introduction of a juice programme. 

Kris Talikowski and Chris Liston set-up the juice bar on 30th March 2013 in Swindon’s Old Town, with a goal to get Swindon healthy.
