Being deskbound and bored at work is fuelling obesity as employees reach for unhealthy snacks to pass the day, according to a recent survey, the Daily Mail reported.

Researchers found 42

per cent of office workers have gained up to a stone in a year as they grazed on snacks such as cake and biscuits during their working hours. Boredom was cited as the biggest factor in workers reaching for a treat while others needed a sugar rush to get them through the working day.

Men were found to be the worst culprits as 50 percent of those questioned admitted they had a snacking addiction. Half of the women surveyed said they put on weight in the last year in contrast to 40 per cent of their male counterparts.
