fruit experts, we’ve set out to answer all your questions. What’s more, if you read to the end, we’ll suggest a fresh diet for Mondays to make the week a little easier. Shall we begin?
3 reasons why you’ll love fruit in your office
It’s pretty. You may think this is an absurd reason, but it’s been proven that surrounding yourself with beautiful things inspires you and projects healthy energy around you. We know from our years of experience in business that the benefits of fruit in the office start with having a dedicated space for it. An aesthetically pleasing corner where you can take refuge when things get tough ;) Fruit is beautiful, puts you in a good mood, and creates spaces for relaxation and conversation.
It
brings the team together. “Who ate the last apple? I asked for it…” You’ll have the opportunity to share a moment of laughter and confidences with your colleagues. It can be a
meeting point to review the week. You’ll have an excuse to get up, breathe, stretch your legs, and chat for a few minutes with whoever is near the fruit box.
It’s healthy. Although it seems obvious, it is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the benefits of having fruit in the office. We’ve all been in the office mid-morning and felt our stomachs rumbling. To stave off hunger until lunchtime, we head to the nearest vending machine and buy any salty snack or industrial pastry. Having fruit in the office means that you don’t have to stop because you’re hungry when you’re very busy (which is important) and you can eat something quick, healthy, and delicious.
A fresh diet for a stressful Monday
Okay, let’s get to the important stuff. Now that we’ve covered the benefits of having fruit in the office, here are a few tips on how to choose the most refreshing varieties that will give you the most energy on any stressful Monday full of emails.
Energizing and refreshing fruits
If you need an extra boost of quick energy and freshness, we suggest you mix these fruits throughout your workday:
Orange first thing in the morning: We recommend eating it first thing in the morning, as it is a fruit that could make it difficult to sleep in the afternoon or evening due to the large amount of solar energy it absorbs. If you haven’t had time for a proper breakfast, you can slice it and add cinnamon and ginger powder, with a little honey. As well as being a delicious combination, it will give you the energy you need to get through all your morning tasks.
Apple after lunch: You know the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Apples are rich in pectin, a type of fiber that is very beneficial for the intestines and helps eliminate toxins accumulated from weekend excesses. It contains a compound of unique organic acids that promote the renewal of intestinal flora and act as a natural toothpaste. In short, have one after lunch when you return to your desk and your stomach and mouth will feel like new.
Banana: Super easy to eat, the banana is the king of potassium as it provides a huge amount of this mineral, which is essential for keeping you hydrated and giving your muscles strength. It is an important mineral for most vital functions and is responsible for keeping the body energized. In fact, people with potassium deficiency are often tired. Eat one in the afternoon when your energy is flagging, and you’ll be unstoppable until quitting time.
