London office fruit fans are healthiest

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

If you’re feeling a bit full after a big breakfast before work, you might want to take some pears from the office fruit basket.

If you eat the peel on the pears, they’ve got a lot of fibre in them, which helps aid the digestive system, meaning they’re great office fruits to eat at work.

According to a new survey, office fruit lovers in London are the healthiest eaters in the nation.

Those in the Big Smoke spend 26 per cent more on fruit and veg than those in the north-east, price comparison site mysupermarket.co.uk has revealed.

On average, Londoners spend £499.81 per household each year on the healthy foods.

The north-east is the least healthy region, according to the survey, winning the rather dismal accolade for the second year running.

Nationwide, spending on fruit and veg is down by six per cent compared with last year, showing not enough people are striving to get their recommended ‘five-a-day’.

You can make sure you get closer to achieving your ‘five-a-day’ by eating tasty treats from the office fruit delivery.

Get your five a day with an office fruit box

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Everyone knows they are supposed to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day, but for people with busy lifestyles with little time for cooking it can seem difficult to fit them all in.

However, an office fruit box is a great way of getting your daily allowance of vitamins and minerals without any extra hassle.

If you eat your breakfast in the office, grab some fruit from the delivery to top your cereal with; chopped up bananas, strawberries and apples are a great addition to your porridge and cornflakes and will make sure you’re ready to face the day.

You can also incorporate bananas into a quick and easy lunch by slicing or mashing the fruit onto a slice of toast. The fruit contains high levels of natural sugars, meaning it gives people an energy boost and also boasts high levels of potassium which can help control blood pressure.

According to NHS Choices, eating five portions of fruit and veg a day can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

Avoid stress with office fruit

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Office fruit fans probably aren’t aware that when they go to work and eat a tasty snack from the office fruit basket that they’re likely to be less stressed out than they would be at home.

However, new research has revealed that spouses are actually a bigger cause of stress than bosses, so you might be more relaxed at work than home.

Some 58 per cent of 3,000 men and women polled said their partner was one of the main people putting them under pressure, reports the Daily Mail.

Less than half (43 per cent) said the same of their boss, according to the survey conducted by electronics and healthcare manufacturer Philips.

Commenting on the survey, Cary Cooper, professor of health psychology at the University of Lancaster said it appeared people were taking their stress at work home with them.

The Daily Mail quoted him as saying: "One coping strategy people have when they are feeling insecure is to take it out on their spouses."

In order to reduce your stress levels at work, you might want to eat some peaches from the office fruit delivery.

Peaches are rich in potassium, which regulates heartbeat and muscular contraction, balancing the nervous system and making them the perfect office fruit to help combat stress.

EU ban on numbered fruit sales is ‘bonkers’

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Hailed by a UKIP MEP as “bonkers”, the European Union (EU) has proposed a ban on selling certain food items by quantity.

Fruit, eggs and bread rolls will have to be sold by their weight in grams rather than their quantity under new rules, which have already been in place in the wider EU but not in the UK.

“This is plain bonkers,” said UKIP MEP Paul Nuttall. “The idiot bureaucrats who have dreamed this nonsense up say it will help consumers make an informed choice when buying food.”

Earlier this year, the EU attempted to enforce a ban on wonky and discoloured fruit and veg.

If it were implemented, it would have brought an end to straight bananas and curly cucumbers but, luckily for all office fruit fanatics, it was agreed that it would increase food wastage, so the bid failed.

At the time, Liberal Democrat MEP George Lyon said: “The shape of a fruit is irrelevant to its taste and nutrition.”

Don’t tweet; eat office fruit

Friday, June 25th, 2010

One of the best times to eat office fruit is when you need a boost to your energy levels or just general all-round health.

Eating nectarines from the office fruit delivery after a heavy lunchtime gym session is a great way to replace the natural mineral salts your body loses through perspiring.

Most office fruits contain high levels of natural sugars too, which can mean your motor will run for longer if you eat fruit at work.

Some people obviously don’t realise the importance of eating though, as a new YouGov poll has revealed that people spend more time on social networking sites than they do consuming food.

Britons, on average, spend 55 minutes a day on websites such as Twitter and Facebook, yet, they only spend 35 minutes each day eating, according to the poll commissioned by Belvita breakfast biscuits.

"Tweeting and social networking are being put ahead of getting a good start to the day," said Belvita marketing manager Nicola Wilkinson.

If you do insist on overusing the old social networking channels, you could eat office fruitapples to ensure you get a boost of vitamin A, which helps your vision – perfect if you’re sat in front of a computer screen.

Athletes going fruity

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Even though football has a tendency to overshadow it, the Wimbledon Championships is now in full swing and already it’s achieved its fair share of records and eyebrow-raising moments.

World records were broken yesterday (June 24th) at the tournament when the longest tennis match ever played finished in a 70-68 win to US star John Isner.

But, he and match loser Nicolas Mahut haven’t been the only ones attracting attention on the courts this year.

Serena Williams was serving up strawberries and cream on Centre Court at the beginning of the week, sporting some rather fetching bright red gym knickers under the traditional tennis whites.

"We dubbed the dress strawberries and cream. The red is strawberries and the white is cream," said the 28-year-old tennis pro.

She’s not the only athlete feeling a bit fruity this week either; as runner Paula Radcliffe has just revealed her daily diet contains huge quantities of the healthy snack.

Radcliffe told the Daily Telegraph she eats fruit with her cereal and snacks on the tasty treat, as well as eating it with yoghurt after for a healthy dessert.

Eat office fruit, don’t watch TV

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Most office fruit fans will know sitting in front of the TV is not the healthiest way to wile away the day and a new study has found that it actually increases the risk of heart disease.

The good news is that certain office fruits can help you reduce your risk of developing the illness.

Pears from the office fruit delivery contain fibre, an essential element in the human diet, which can help regulate and reduce cholesterol levels. Too much bad cholesterol is a leading cause of heart disease.

The study, which was conducted by the Medical Research Council, found that every hour spent staring at a TV screen can increase the risk of dying from heart disease by seven per cent.

In the UK, people watch TV for around four hours each day on average, which can up the risk of dying from the condition by a whopping 28 per cent.

If you do want to watch your favourite TV programmes tonight, you should just eat some office fruitpears at work to counter the risk that the study claims exists.
