HOW TO GET A FRUITY BOOST
A daily intake of fresh fruit is unquestionably good for your health. But how much is enough ?
The opinions of health experts do vary, but the general acceptance is that fruit and vegetables should be eaten at every meal, and should account for around thirty percent of the daily total food consumption of an adult.
The average adult in the United Kingdom eats between two and three portions of fruit and vegetables a day which is below the recommended five serves for good health of five serves.Down under in Australia, adults only eat an average of 1 0 2 serves of fresh fruit a day and are being encouraged to step up their consumption through a government-sponsored initiative.The campaign aims to encourage people to eat a healthy two portions of fruit and five portions of vegetables each day.
We know fruit is good for us.Just why aren’t we consuming more of it ?
Fruit is surprisingly nutritious and is an important source of vitamins including the vital vitamin C, minerals and fibre. The main sugar in fruit is fructose which is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, giving energy without the highs and lows that come with eating refined sugar.
You may want to think about this before you reach for the biscuit tin when the mid-morning sugar low hits.According to a weight management system from a leading global organisation, each food has a points value. In terms of their system, a small apple constitutes 0.5 points, a chocolate chip biscuit is one point and a packet of chips is 5.5 points.And what about that double chocolate muffin. That’s a huge nine points.Similar sizes – but just look at the nutritional difference between the muffin and a crunchy apple !
These are just a few examples of single fruit servings
* A medium pear, apple, banana, nectarine etc
* One melon or pineapple slice
* about 150ml of grapes
* 20ml of dried fruit
• One cup of chopped or tinned fruit
Not everyone realises that fruit juice contains far more calories than whole fruit – for example, a cup of apple juice is around 115 calories and an apple is around 80 calories.Eating the whole fruit is far more satisfying, and obviously healthier too.Fruits also lose water when they are dried, so the sugar content becomes far more concentrated by weight.A handful of dried fruit is way more calories than a similar amount of fresh fruit.
And with so much being said and written about health and wellbeing, more and more employers are realising that if their workforce is healthier, then morale and productivity will improve. Many of them are working towards this by investing in regular office fruit deliveries so that workers get their fruit fill without lifting a finger.
One company which has been delivering gn-tap goodness to Perth companies for years is Fruit Boost, and they maintain that their clients are in much better health since starting a regular investment in a fresh fruit delivery.
There’s more than a grain of truth in the old saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, so imagine what a regular fruit box delivery will do for a healthy workforce.

Wawa $21.99 Wawa has more than two hundred years of history in American business. Founded in 1803 and incorporated in 1865, Wawa has roots in the manufacture of cast-iron water pipes and decorative lampposts. Using the resources and surplus water power from the iron business, the family opened a cotton mill and began producing cotton piece goods, including Red Star diapers. The first Wawa milk plant opened in 1902; by the late 1950s, the Wawa Dairy had expanded its home delivery business to include over one hundred forty-five routes. The first Wawa Food Market opened on April 16, 1964. Today, the company is familiar to many as a chain of five hundred forty convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia that offers a wide selection of fresh foods, coffee, and gasoline. Wawa contains vintage images documenting the evolution of the company as it adapted to changing economic and social conditions. From the early days of iron manufacture to the opening of the first store in Folsom, Pennsylvania, Wawa brings to life the many facets of one of America’s top privately owned companies. |
