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.
