Office fruit fans might be pleased to hear that an apple a day could help people who are watching their weight.

Apples are said to be particularly good for those keeping an eye on their weight gain because they produce the hormone GLP-1 once digested, which convinces the brain they are full up, reports the Daily Mail.

If you eat one medium-sized apple 15 minutes before you eat – you could take one from the office fruit box before lunch – you could regulate your appetite.

According to a US study reported by the news provider, people eat 15 per cent fewer calories if they eat an apple before their main meal.

Dr Penny Stanway writing recently for the Daily Mail suggested that apples can provide a great boost to the immune system as well.

She explained that they contain around eight per cent of people's daily vitamin C intake.
