When taking a tasty treat from the office fruit basket, you probably think about how easy it’ll be to eat at work.
Clementines and satsumas are really great office fruits as they’re easy to peel, making them slightly less messy than other favourites.
Another benefit of the soft citrus fruits in the office fruit box is that they’re rich in vitamin C, which New Zealand have just found block the growth of cancerous tumours.
The team from Otago University at Christchurch published a report in the journal Cancer Research, documenting how vitamin C can help stop the growth of cancerous cells.
According to the study, high-grade tumours have around 40 per cent less vitamin C than adjacent, normal tissue.
This could mean that restoring vitamin C levels in tumours could help limit the factors that lead to tumour growth.
There are multiple other benefits of soft citrus fruits, such as their content of vitamin B1 which helps reduce stiffness and tiredness in the workplace.
