When you take a coffee break at work, the best place you could head is towards the office fruit delivery.
Taking something like grapes from the office fruit box can help you in numerous ways.
Grapes contain phyto-chemicals which play the role of powerful antioxidants, immune-system boosters and even cholesterol fighters – reducing the risk of you developing heart disease.
You could combine eating some office fruit with having a cup of coffee as a new study has found the hot drink improves elasticity in the arteries, which can help ward off cardiovascular disease.
According to the British Heart Foundation, cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in the UK, accounting for around 38 per cent.
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Athens on subjects from the Greek Island of Ikaria, which is famed for its longevity of life – a third of residents live to at least 90.
Researcher Dr Christina Chrysohoou said: "The study revealed that moderate coffee consumption, between one and two cups per day, is associated with higher values of aortic distensibility when compared with other hypertensive elderly individuals taking less coffee."
