To avoid this, don’t eat at your desk or make it a point to clean your desk every time you eat. Also, when you eat don’t use the same hands to pick up the phone or keyboard, as this might cause the transfer of bacteria to you via your own hands! Keeping tissues handy in drawers can help you clean the desk whenever needed.

Here are many more benefits attached to whole wheat bread-

• Preparation: The way of processing speaks a lot on the nutritional value of the end product. Comparing whole wheat bread with white bread, while whole wheat bread uses all, the bran, wheat germ and endosperm of the wheat berry from which it is processed, white bread only uses the endosperm, making it inferior in nutritional value, and moreover, the bleaching process leaches even more nutrition from the bread. In other words, white bread is stripped of most of its nutrients as the wheat germ gets removed in the process.  
• Fullness: Besides being fibre – rich and nutritionally superior, whole wheat bread leaves you with a feeling of fullness, much faster than white bread. And this in turn can help you with your weight loss goals.
