People who eat plenty of fresh office fruit might be helping to protect their brains from the threat of declining health, it has been suggested.
According to Dr Susanne Sorensen, head of research at the Alzheimer's Society, antioxidants and vitamins can both be found within fruit products and items of veg.
These elements could be helpful in protecting people's brains, she noted.
Dr Sorensen also said: "A healthy diet with a variety of fruit and vegetables that enables a person to maintain a normal body weight is likely to reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure or heart disease."
Arteries can be negatively impacted if people's consumption of things like saturated fats is too great, the expert added.
When it comes to healthy eating, parents might wish to adopt more of a family-focused approach when addressing the weight of their youngsters, it was recently pointed out by Tam Fry, spokesman for the National Obesity Forum.
