Using a phone for just two hours a day can lead to inflamed tendons in the neck and disc trouble in the back. Headsets have been found to reduce this by up to 40 per cent.
3 Oatcakes
If you suffer from post-breakfast energy dips, reach for the oatcakes, which are low GI, contain just 50 calories and, due to high roughage content, will leave you feeling full.
4 Antibiotic wipes
The average desk contains nearly 400 times as many microbes as the average toilet seat. Say no more.
5 Chocolate
