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.
