4. FOCUS: SUGAR Many packaged foods and drinks contain surprisingly high amounts of free sugars. Free sugars are found in many foods, such as: sugary fizzy drinks sugary breakfast cereals cakes biscuits pastries and puddings sweets and chocolate alcoholic drinks. More than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g means the food is high in sugar, while 5g of total sugars or less per 100g means the food is low in sugar.
5. MOVING ABOUT IN THE DAY • The human body is not designed to sit for long periods of time. Even if you exercise regularly, spending a lot of time sitting down can be bad for your health, contributing to higher rates of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. • In an office, employees are far more likely to move away from their desks - going to meetings, speaking to colleagues or heading out for lunch. Employees working from home can spend hours in the same position, as they don’t have these natural interruptions to their day.
