There may be no better time to arrange an office fruit delivery than summer, if one commentator is to be believed.

Cathy Garvey told the San Diego Union-Tribune the juicy perishables on offer during the year’s middle months are "wonderful".

She is a registered dietician at Scripps Centre for Integrative Medicine and namechecked the likes of blueberries, raspberries, plums and nectarines.

Healthy snackers are likely to grab an apple, banana or orange, she stated.

"There are so many … ways to enjoy fruit," Ms Garvey told the news provider. "You can throw berries on your oatmeal, or make a fresh fruit smoothie using non-fat Greek-style yogurt and a cup of fruit."

Last month, it was suggested companies which choose to provide healthy foods to staff may reap a number of benefits.

The Fresh Business Thinking website stated providing an office fruit basket could be cheaper than offering subsidies for recreational exercise.

It could also facilitate an increase in workforce happiness, the column claimed.

People who eat fruit at work may be less likely to gorge on unhealthy snacks, if the comments of one expert are to be believed.

A representative of US firm Seattle Shuttle told ABC15 consuming juicy perishables can help revellers avoid being hungry – which can lead to overeating.

"If you are invited to a social gathering, eat a small, healthy snack before you go – yogurt, fruit or vegetables are ideal," the spokesperson is reported to have said.

Commuting or heading away on holiday could be another time to focus on the consumption of fruit, the article suggested.

The column also underlined the importance of glugging water throughout the day, noting it can particularly aid digestive health.

It also suggested one way of avoiding filling your face with chocolate or sweets when they are given as a present is to share them out among friends or colleagues.

Earlier this month, US medical professional Dr Sears told the Examiner eating bananas can aid performance in the office, as they can improve alertness.

There may be no better time to eat fruit at work than the summer, if one commentator is to be believed.

According to the Examiner, following ancient diet rituals can be the best path towards good health.

Journalist Polly Jackson explained previous generations were forced to consume juicy perishables seasonally – and stocked up on foods high in carbohydrates in the warmer months of the year to prepare for seasons where produce was harder to come by.

"When asparagus if plentiful, eat it. When apples are in season, eat them," she said.

The industry commentator also suggested cardiac issues and weight problems in large parts of the population could be down to consuming foods during the ‘wrong’ parts of the year.

However, she noted this is made easier by the fact supermarkets can stock items which are out of season by importing from overseas.

Fruits which contain carbohydrates include bananas, grapes, pears, oranges, raspberries, watermelons, strawberries and prunes.

Dipping into an office fruit basket on a regular basis could be one way of keeping within the British Medical Journal’s (BMJ) guidelines for good health.

The organisation has underlined the importance of consuming plenty of the juicy perishables – along with vegetables – in a piece for the Guardian.

It offered the advice after recent studies at Harvard Medical School showed making good food choices can aid cardiac health.

Commenting on the findings, the body explained lifestyle factors can be slightly different depending on gender – but that one preventative measure applicable to both men and women was eating fruit.

Other suggestions included refraining from smoking, keeping an eye on weight, avoiding overconsumption of alcohol and getting regular exercise.

Another medical association that has espoused the benefits of sticking to a balanced diet is the NHS.

Earlier this year, the Lancashire Evening Post reported the government health service has launched "fruity fun clubs" in the north-west, aimed at reducing the amount of sick days local public sector staff take.

An office fruit delivery could help ensure staff eat a nutritious breakfast, something which has been highlighted by a commentator.

When it comes to working through daily tasks, consuming juicy perishables can aid alertness and focus, the Examiner stated.

The news provider interviewed medical professional Dr Sears, who made a range of suggestions as to how fruit can be included in day’s first meal – including adding slices of apple to muesli and yoghurt.

Portions of banana could also help an individual make the best start to the morning – the column mentioned how scrumptious this could be when added to muffins with peanut butter.

Berries, meanwhile, could make the perfect topping for pancakes which have just popped fresh out of the toaster.

"Breakfast has been associated with … being able to stay focused and pay attention," journalist Tere Scott said. "While those who skip … [it] may find themselves sluggish, inattentive and have junk-food cravings throughout the day."

Her comments follow recent NHS research, which was published as part of its Eat Smarter to Work Smarter drive.

It stated work performance can be improved by eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
