Singing with workmates can help staff connect socially, says study[/caption]

Belting out a tune slashed job-related stress by 96 per cent and feelings of isolation by 86 per cent — more than any other social activity.

The Leicester University team quizzed 58 people in various organisations on their work demands, socialising and mood. Study leader Joanna Foster said: “Singing in groups is known to have a positive impact on health.

“Our study has found evidence that it can also reduce workplace stress and feelings of isolation.

“The social connectiveness is therefore likely to benefit working relationships as well as staff wellbeing.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
