Office fruit strawberries grown in Britain have been given a boost this year because of the unseasonal temperatures seen in the early part of spring.

Strawberries are reportedly of the best quality they have been in around two decades, with higher sugar levels making them sweeter and juicier than normal.

Vernon Emery, an English strawberry farmer, said: "The extra warmth has helped boost sugar levels but equally important have been good levels of light which have helped the fruit set and encouraged bees to pollinate the plants."

This could be very good news for fans of the red fruit, who tend to choose them from the office fruit delivery.

Earlier this month, the Met Office confirmed that April 2011 was the warmest on record in the UK, with temperatures around three to five degrees C hotter than usual.

The month was also the 11th driest on record, with rainfall of 52 per cent of the long-term average over the month – a total of just 36.7 mm.

If you're feeling a bit lethargic at work, the best thing to do is head to the office fruit basket to grab an energy-boosting snack.

You should always ensure you manage to take a break at work, even if it's just to get some fresh air, as new research has shown it impacts greatly on your productivity levels.

More than a third (34 per cent) of employees fail to take a lunch hour because they feel their workload is too big to take time out, the research from Bupa revealed.

However, because they don't take a break, 48 per cent of workers feel their productivity levels drop dramatically at 3pm, losing them 40 minutes a day.

Many workers just grab a quick sandwich at lunch, meaning by the time mid-afternoon hits, they are ready for a snack.

However, rather than opting for a biscuit or packet of crisps, workers are advised to opt for a tasty treat from the office fruit basket, which can help them last until dinnertime without being unhealthy.

Recent research conducted by the Atkins Diet team highlighted that between 3 and 3.30pm is when most people forget their healthy eating intentions and give into the temptation of an afternoon snack.

"This is the time when most dieters are susceptible to failure because of a number of different factors, namely a dip in energy mid-afternoon and the use of food as an emotional crutch," nutritionist Linda O'Byrne said.

"This could be down to either stress, boredom or the many other ranges of emotion that we go through on any given day."

Rather than snacking on something unhealthy, workers are advised to try something from the office fruit delivery.

A banana is not only tasty but is also full of energy-boosting natural sugars, which will help people make it until home time, while apples are full of vitamin A which helps with vision.

Carole Spiers, chief executive of the Carole Spiers group – a leading provider of employee counselling and stress management strategies – said: "If you look after your employees then they will give that to you 100 times over."

The office fruit basket contains lots of perks if you're in need of a pick-me-up at work.

Office fruit bananas for example, contain plenty of natural energy-boosting sugar, which is great if you feel a bit lethargic during the day.

Bananas from the office fruit delivery have a high content of trypotophan, which the body converts into serotonin, giving you an enlightening effect, according to mental health charity Mind.

If you're feeling the effects of job losses during the tough economic times, you're definitely not alone.

According to Peter Reilly, director of HR research and consultancy at the Institute for Employment Studies, people who have kept their job during the downturn could suffer from a kind of "survivor syndrome".

People tend to feel guilty that they still have their role when others have been made redundant.

"You need to give attention to the fact that people who are going to remain are going to feel ill at ease about that fact, because they'll have lost friends and all the rest of it," Mr Reilly advised.

While redundancies and job losses are obviously no joke at this time, it's good to remember to eat healthily and keep your spirits up at work in order to soldier through.
