It’s quite well documented that office fruit contains numerous vitamins and minerals which help people combat cancer.

Plums from the office fruit basket are rich in antioxidants that fight the damage caused to cells by the villain molecules free radicals, which increase the risk of developing cancer.

Now, new research has found that leading an active social life could also help fight the disease which affects hundreds of thousands of people in the UK each year.

Tests conducted on mice found cancerous tumours shrank when they were brought into contact with more mice than usual, completely disappearing in some instances.

The mass of tumours shrunk by 77 per cent on average and their volume was reduced by 43 per cent.

Professor Matthew During of Ohio State University in the US said the findings provided powerful evidence of the key roles social connection and mental state could play in fighting cancer.

You could try to reduce your risk of getting cancer by eating apples from the office fruit delivery too, as they are rich in antioxidants which act in the same way as those in plums, meaning the office fruit reduces the damage free radicals cause in the body.
