As part of our ongoing drive to improve the health of the UK's workforce, we are supporting the Government's new fight against obesity by becoming a partner of the change4life campaign.
Change4life is a society-wide movement that encourages everyone to make changes to their diet and activity levels in order to reverse the growing trend of obesity and obesity related diseases.
Fruitdrop is in support of Change4Life. In order to maintain a healthy weight we need to both eat better and move more. Many families are making changes that will help them live healthier and longer lives. Visit www.nhs.uk/Change4Life or call 0300 123 3434 for more information.
In addition we are 'saying no' to vending machines at work!
Chocolate, biscuits and crisps just slow you down and add inches to your waistline. Fruit, the perfect alternative, contains natural sugars that help stimulate the brain and improve mental performance. Also fruit is packed with beneficial and essential vitamins and minerals and is a healthier, lower fat, lower calorie option.
