When energy levels drop, do you  turn to the staff biscuit barrel or office vending machine for an instant pick-me up?

The problem with this is, these foods are usually high in fat and sugar – the very nutrients that will make them feel lethargic a short time after they have been consumed.

Keep healthy snacks on hand at all times:
 
• Dried or tinned fruit
• Unsalted raw or roasted nuts
• Unsalted popcorn
• Tinned tuna or salmon in spring water
• Wholegrain biscuits
• Wholegrain cereal bars
• Wholegrain breakfast cereal
• Low-fat yoghurt (in work fridge)
• Roasted or tinned chickpeas
• Tin of baked beans.
