The office fruit basket has multiple benefits for your health, from boosting eyesight to aiding the immune system.

Soft citrus fruits from the office fruit delivery can help your immune system, helping you stay fit and healthy through the winter with their high vitamin C content.

Dr Chris Smith, writing for the Daily Mail, said it's important to stay healthy in order to reduce the risk of getting a cold this season.

He said staying fit "improves skin quality and mucus membrane growth, which are the first lines of defence against viral infection".

Mood can have an effect on the immune system as well, he said. Lift your spirits by keeping your body clock on track – office fruit cherries could help you out with this as they're rich in melatonin which helps balance sleep patterns.

Go out in the sunshine when possible to lift your mood, or eat a banana from the office fruit box. According to mental health charity Mind, bananas contain trypotophan, which the body converts to serotonin, giving off an enlightening effect.

Lucky office fruit fans who have been on a holiday recently might still be experiencing the effects of jet lag.

If you are, cherries from the office fruit box could help you out. They're a great source of melatonin, which helps improve sleeping patterns, aiding your mind to relax at the end of a busy day in the office.

New research from scientists at the University of California has shown the effects of jet lag can sometimes linger for around a month after a holiday.

As well as affecting people's body clock – circadian rhythms – it also leads to forgetfulness and a lack of concentration, according to the research reported in the Daily Mail.

"What we see is an impact up to a month afterward," said researcher Dr Lance Kriegsfeld. "Repeated disruption of circadian rhythms is likely going to have a long-term impact on your cognitive behaviour and function."

Anyone in need of a boost in concentration might find the answer in an office fruit basket. Grapes are rich in natural sugars which stimulate the brain, while helping it recall information more quickly.

Getting your five-a-day is easy if you've got an office fruit basket at work. There's a multitude of different fruits on offer and all of them have a range of health benefits.

Take office fruit figs for example; they're rich in dietary fibre, meaning they aid digestion if you've had a particularly heavy lunch at work.

As well as eating five portions of fruit and veg a day, variety could be the key to a healthier life.

According to a new study, which looked at 500,000 people living in ten European countries, eating a variety of fruit and veg can reduce the risk of lung cancer by up to 23 per cent.

The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition's study's co-author Maria Jose Sanchez Perez said the research looked more deeply into any links between lung cancer and diet.

"Aside from the amount [of fruit and veg] consumed, it's also important to take into account the variety. A varied diet reduces the risk of developing this cancer, above all in smokers," she said.

According to Cancer Research UK, lung cancer is the second most common diagnosed in the country after breast cancer.

Office fruit basket treats have numerous benefits, particularly with the wintry weather making its way towards us.

Citrus fruits from the office fruit delivery are high in vitamin C content, meaning they are perfect to eat if you're trying to fend off a pesky workplace cold.

They also contain a natural plant chemical called hesperidin, which a new study has found can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Scientists from the University of Auvergne in France tested middle-aged men, giving them 500ml of orange juice, which contains hesperidin, every day for four weeks, while they gave others a control test, reports the Daily Mail.

At the end of the study, the researchers found there was a significant decline in blood pressure in the men consuming hesperidin.

Researchers said: "The main result was that four weeks of consuming orange juice, or purified hesperidin, significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure in healthy men," reports the news provider.

According to the NHS, high blood pressure is a major risk factor in the development of serious cardiovascular diseases, which are one of the biggest killers in the UK.

Office fruit nectarines are a great source of plenty of things which can benefit your overall health.

Nectarines from the office fruit basket are rich in vitamin C, making them a great treat to have if you feel like you're coming down with a pesky seasonal cold.

They've also got a high potassium content which is useful if you're looking to replenish lost mineral salts after a lunchtime workout at the gym.

Potassium is also useful if you're feeling stressed out as they have a beneficial effect on heartbeat, muscular contraction and they help balance the nervous system.

One expert on stress has highlighted the importance of employers looking out for signs of stress in their workers in a bid to reduce absences due to the condition.

"The effects of stress in the work place could look like an increase in sick leave, more accidents in work which lead to injury or drops in productivity," warned Neil Shah, director of the Stress Management Society.

He added: "One of the primary things is embedding the value of promoting wellbeing and reducing stress into the culture of the organisation."

Office fruit deliveries could be one way of doing this, as the treats are a great way to ensure staff are healthy and thinking about their wellbeing.

Office fruit bananas have countless benefits. If you need an energy-boost from the office fruit basket, the yellow treat could be just the answer.

They contain natural sugars, which increase energy levels, helping you power away during the long hours at work.

The office fruit basket favourite is also highly a-peeling because of its potassium content, which helps control blood pressure – making it the perfect thing to eat if you're feeling stressed.

If you've accidentally fallen asleep with the light on, it might put you in a bad mood the next day, according to researchers and bananas could help you combat that as well.

The yellow fruit contains trypotophan, a protein the body converts into serotonin, which produces an enlightening effect, according to mental health charity Mind.

Scientists from Ohio University in the US found sleeping with even a dim light on could affect the structure of the brain, raising the risk of depression.

This means, dropping off with the TV on could actually impact on your mental health.

Researcher Tracy Bedrosian said:"The hippocampus plays a key role in depressive disorders, so finding changes there is significant."

She warned: "Even dim light at night is sufficient to provoke depressive behaviour."
