If you’re looking for ways to boost your energy while you’re hard at work in the office, one of the best things to do is eat some fruit at work.
Office fruits like grapes are rich in natural sugars which help stimulate the brain, aiding faster thinking and quicker information recall.
People might be more encouraged to take some tasty treats from the office fruit basket when they realise new research has found Brits spend 80 per cent of their adult life at work.
The survey, conducted by stationery supplier AOS Online, found that Brits have a fairly bad deal in comparison to their neighbours on the continent.
Britons tend to have some of the longest working hours in Europe and are given the some of the poorest annual leave entitlements too.
To add insult to injury, the government recently proposed upping the retirement age, meaning we’re literally going to work ’til we drop – quite a depressing thought!
If you’re feeling a bit down in the dumps about the news, you might want to take some bananas from the office fruit delivery as, according to leading mental health charity Mind, the fruits are known to boost mood and make you feel generally happier.
