Office fruit can help control blood pressure

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Office fruit bananas are fantastic and it’s easy to see exactly what their a-peel is too.

They contain natural sugars which boost energy levels and help you beaver away at work for longer.

Another benefit of eating bananas from the office fruit delivery is that they contain large amounts of potassium, which helps to control blood pressure, making it a great office fruit if you’re one of the many young people who suffer from hypertension.

More than a third (35 per cent) of 16 to 34-year-olds suffer from high blood pressure, or hypertension, according to a new survey.

Almost one in 20 had either severe of very severe elevated blood pressure, the survey by Lloydspharmacy revealed.

Clinical pharmacist at the company Shafeeque Mohammed said: “It is something that most people don’t think they need to worry about until later in life, but it can affect you at any age.”

Mr Mohammed said an increasingly sedentary lifestyle young people live could be leading to them experiencing higher blood pressure.

Another office fruit that contains potassium which could help regulate blood pressure are the nectarines from the office fruit delivery, so munching on fruit at work may not completely eradicate the problem, but it could reduce symptoms.

Office fruit can help you stay healthy

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Office fruit is a healthy snack to eat at work. Something like cherries from the office fruit basket contain large amounts of quercetin, which, according to research, has anti-carcinogenic properties.

Aside from this, office fruit cherries contain anthocyanins, that reduce general pain, so you’ll feel healthier if you eat some cherries as they work at blocking out pain.

New research has revealed that more than a third (35 per cent) of people are worried they are neglecting their health more than any other aspect of their life.

Nearly half (45 per cent) say they feel they need to put more emphasis on keeping fit, while 23 per cent admit to putting their family’s health needs over their own, a survey by Scottish Widows found.

Office fruit is a good way to try and maintain your health.

Peaches and nectarines from the office fruit box contain high levels of vitamin C, which helps defend the body against infections and pesky colds, meaning you’ll probably feel fitter if you eat the office fruit regularly.

Eat office fruit to beat choccie cravings

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Office fruit is great. It often contains large amounts of natural sugars, which aren’t bad for you at all.

Taking something like grapes from the office fruit delivery can help satisfy that sweet craving you may get and, at the same time, it stimulates the brain, prolonging performance and reducing tiredness at work.

If you’re trying to nip sweet cravings in the bud, office fruit could be the way forward.

In Closer magazine’s diet section, it suggests choosing sweet fruit rather than chocolate to make sure your sweet tooth still gets exactly what it wants.

Fruit is a “waistline-friendly substitute” for unhealthy foods, such as cakes and biscuits, according to the magazine.

Juicy pears from the office fruit basket are rich in natural sugars too. They contain high levels of fructose and glucose, which not only satisfy those sugary cravings, but they also boost energy levels too, meaning you’ll be on top form if you eat the fruit at work.

Get healthy with office fruit

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

It’s summertime and when the sun’s out there’s no better time to dig into the office fruit delivery.

Plenty of office fruits have benefits during the hotter months of the year, such as strawberries, which contain vitamin A that helps protect against skin dryness caused by air conditioning.

Recently, the government announced it would be scrapping its funding for the anti-obesity campaign it introduced earlier this year.

This means it’s more important than ever for office fruit fans to get healthy with the tasty treats.

Health secretary Andrew Lansley said people need to take more responsibility for their own health.

In a letter to Mr Lansley, around 30 health organisations said voluntary approaches to tackling obesity before had proved to be ineffective added they were “dismayed” at the government dropping funding for the Change4life drive.

Grapes are a great, healthy snack to take from the office fruit basket as they’re rich in natural sugars, which help boost the brain and recall information more quickly; making them the perfect fruit at work to satisfy sweet cravings.

Eat office fruit during pregnancy

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Office fruits have plenty of all-round health benefits. Something like pears from the office fruit basket contains fibre which helps to regulate and reduce cholesterol levels in the body, countering harmful effects of fried foods and such.

Despite admitting to craving cupcakes and pizza during her pregnancy, Heroes actress Ali Larter recently decided to go for some healthier options, choosing fruit and veg when out shopping in Hollywood, reports the Daily Mail.

Eating for two during pregnancy and satisfying your sweet tooth is not beneficial to your bump, according to nutritionist and fertility expert at Foods for Life and First Response Yvonne Bishop-Weston.

Instead of going for the doughnuts, women should fill up on nutrient-rich foods, such as colourful fruit and veg, she advised.

This will help the pregnancy go “much more smoothly”, according to Ms Bishop-Weston.

Even if you’re not pregnant, the office fruit delivery could still have multiple health benefits.

After a heavy lunch, eating figs from the office fruit box could help aid digestion as they’re also a good source of fibre, along with pears.

Rehydrate with office fruit

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

The Great British Summer is well underway now, so all you office fruit fans will have the usual mix of heatwaves and rainy days to contend with over the next month or so.

Some of the offerings from the office fruit delivery are great on a hot day. Peaches and nectarines, for example, contain high levels of mineral salts, which help replenish the body when you perspire.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Joe Mulligan, head of first aid education at the British Red Cross Society, has offered some tips to help deal with heat exhaustion, which may well occur on a muggy summer’s day.

If you think someone might be suffering, move them into a shaded area and only leave them in a thin layer of clothing.

Lay them down and lift their legs to circulate blood to the brain and reduce dizziness.

Mr Mulligan advises getting people to consume something to replace lost mineral salts, such as water or an isotonic drink.

If there’s no improvement in 20 minutes, it’s best to call an ambulance.

To make sure you stay hydrated, particularly if you have to travel like a tinned sardine on the London Underground, it might help to eat some peaches and nectarines from the office fruit basket.

Sleep better with office fruit

Monday, July 26th, 2010

All office fruits serve a slightly different purpose. For example, office fruit apples help improve eyesight, while figs from the office fruit basket help with digestion.

Cherries, meanwhile, are a good source of melatonin, which makes sure you switch off a little bit quicker when your head hits the pillow after a long day at work.

They could be the best thing to take from the office fruit delivery as, "poor sleep quality can lead to depression, as it affects your mental state", according to Jessica Alexander, spokesperson for the Sleep Council.

New research from Silent Night has revealed that new parents lose the equivalent of six months sleep during the first two years of their child’s life.

Around one in ten parents only manage to get about two-and-a-half hours shut-eye each night.

Ms Alexander said lack of sleep could also cause strain in a relationship.

"If you are poorly rested, you are likely to be tired, grumpy and impatient. If you are well-rested, and feeling good, you are going to be much more cheerful to be around. So by default sleep will affect a relationship."

Anyone who is desperately trying to get a good night’s kip should consider eating some cherries from the office fruit box while at work to help you switch off when you arrive home.

Banana antics spark complaints

Monday, July 26th, 2010

A banana flashing a strawberry and pear probably isn’t an everyday occurrence.

You might even find the idea of the image quite amusing, but it would appear that some people in New Zealand don’t, as they have complained to the Kiwi Advertising Standards Authority about one company’s ad campaign.

People have complained that the ads for Auckland-based Habitual Fix are inappropriate as they contain an adult theme, reports the New Zealand Herald.

The main image in the ad is of a banana exposing itself by unpeeling the bottom half of his skin and a strawberry and pear running away in fear.

Auckland resident Jackie Robson saw the image for the first time on the back of a bus ticket.

She told the news provider: “Even though it is just fruit there is the angry look and it is clear what the banana is doing.”

Habitual Fix founder James Tucker said the campaign was light-hearted and easy going.

“We have literally hundreds and hundreds of people saying they like it. Ninety-nine per cent say they like it,” he told the Herald.

Eating bananas has been known to improve mood and make people happier, according to mental health charity Mind, so maybe people should’ve had some bananas then they might not have taken offence to the ads!
