Gold Breakfast Show

Men Take Longer to Get Ready Than Women!
It’s official, men now spend longer getting ready to go out than women do.
A study of over 3,000 men showed the average man dedicates 83 minutes of the day to their personal grooming. This includes showering, cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes.
In contrast, women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and manage to get hair, clothes and make up done in just 79 minutes.
Men also take longer than women when picking an outfit, 13 minutes compared to 10.
Can’t imagine why, since guys always look like their wearing the same old shirt & pants!

THE GOLD HEALTH GUIDE
The superfruit, blueberry, is even better for you than previously thought, scientists have claimed.
It has long been known that the purple berry is rich in cancer-preventing antioxidants and vitamins.
Now researchers from the Lund University Faculty of Engineering in Sweden claim that the fibre in the fruit can help prevent a range of intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease.
Blueberries are rich in polyphenols – beneficial chemicals found in plants – which have a bug busting and antioxidative effect.
And experts say the effect is even better if eaten with probiotics – the good type of bacteria that can be found in yoghurts because probiotics also protect the liver, an organ that is often negatively impacted by intestinal inflammations.
The team found that the combination of blueberries and probiotics reduced inflammation-inducing bacteria in the intestine at the same time as the number of health-promoting bacteria increased.

Workplace Irritants
Office workers were polled on what’s the worst thing about working in an office and according to a survey, irritants include people speaking too loudly on the phone, overbearing health and safety rules, dirty toilets and bad air conditioning.
36% said the frustration of computer breakdowns was the worst and more than a third (37%) of those surveyed found it hard to work when those around them are sulky, grumpy or irritable.
A significant number say these irritations cause them to leave their jobs.
In other words, the grumpy ones stay enmployed? That hardly seems fair does it?
What are your office bugbears?
