Why get fruit for your office?

Offices across Central Scotland are increasingly aware of the rewards of promoting a healthy workplace.

Healthy eating at work can be a challenge. It's easy for busy staff to miss breakfast or lunch, which may lead to unhealthy snacking habits during the day. Having fruit at work means they are more likely to reach for a banana than something unhealthy and fattening from the vending machine.

Providing regular fresh fruit in the office will offer you the following great benefits:

Company and staff benefits

Health and wellbeing consultants Vielife showed, in an extensive workplace study, that a healthy employee is up to 20% more productive than an unhealthy employee.

Employees who eat more healthily and look after their weight report less sickness and absenteeism than those classed as obese – reducing the costs of workplace illness and absenteeism.

The natural sugars in fruit helps staff to think faster and remain alert longer, so no more afternoon slumps in energy and output.

Providing free fruit is a low cost way to show you care about the health of your staff and help boost employee morale.

Five reasons to get five portions

Fruit and vegetables taste delicious and there's so much variety to choose from.

They're a good source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin C and potassium.

They're an excellent source of dietary fibre, which helps maintain a healthy gut and prevent constipation and other digestion problems. A diet high in fibre can also reduce your risk of bowel cancer.

They can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

Fruit and vegetables contribute to a healthy and balanced diet.
