Everyone has bad days at work when they can feel their stress levels rising and it seems that the solution may be as simple as reaching for the office fruit basket.

A recent article for the News Shopper highlighted that when people are facing tough times they should be sure to maintain a tip-top condition to take on any challenges thrown at them.

It added that when people are stressed they can often rely on stodgy unhealthy comfort foods but in reality this can just create more problems by making people feel sluggish and lazy.

Instead, the news provider suggested that people try and eat a balanced diet which is plentiful in minerals and vitamins and does not contain foods which can act as blocks to nutrients being absorbed.

So, if you are feeling tense at work, ditch your chocolate bars and crisps and reach into the office fruit basket for a pear, apple or banana, all of which contain a variety of minerals and are great for boosting energy.

Strawberries are the ultimate summer fruit, enjoyed by people on picnics and sports fans at Wimbledon throughout the warmer months.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Alex Mitchell said that while strawberries are available in the winter, they pale in comparison to the juicy red fruits that people can snack on in summer.

"Not those specimens you can buy in the dead of winter that slump from pink acidity to fluffy grey mould overnight, but proper red ripe ones that actually smell of strawberry and drip juice on the table," he said, adding that tasting a perfect summer strawberry can transport people back to their childhood summers.

Snacking on strawberries from the office fruit box can be a great way to enjoy the warmer weather even if you are stuck at work.

And with recent research by a team at the University of Bristol highlighting that eating a healthy diet high in fruit and vegetables can give you a tan, what more excuse to you need to enjoy some summery office fruits?

A new exotic super fruit has burst onto the scene and is proving a firm favourite with high end chefs.

The baobab (pronounced bau-bab) has six times as much vitamin C as oranges, twice as much calcium as milk and more magnesium than spinach, according to the Caterersearch blog.

Hailing from Africa, the fruit is off-white in colour and breaks open to reveal a powdery, sherbet-like pulp.

It supposedly tastes like a combination of caramelised pear and grapefruit, although it is thought it is better as an ingredient rather than eaten on its own, meaning it is unlikely to turn up in the office fruit box any time soon.

Anyone seeking a fruit with super nutritional properties which they can easily snack on at work should try a tasty peach, which is high in vitamin C and is great at helping the body fight off pesky infections.

Peaches also contain Beta-caratone which our bodies can transform into vitamin A – which helps improve people’s eyesight. Perfect for office workers chained to a computer all day.

So, with summer just around the corner, many of you office fruit lovers may be looking for ways to shift a little bit of excess weight before donning your bikini or trunks on the beach.

Leader of the research team, Ian Stephen of Bristol University, said: "We have produced evidence that dietary intake of fruit and vegetables affects skin colour."

People find the natural glow of five-a-day eaters more attractive than those who eat low-carotenoid diets too, according to the research which asked volunteers to evaluate the skin tone of photos men and women.

So, if you’re trying to achieve a healthy glow for the summer, you should eat more office fruit instead of heading for the nearest tanning salon.
