Another benefit of eating bananas from the office fruit delivery is that they contain large amounts of potassium, which helps to control blood pressure, making it a great office fruit if you’re one of the many young people who suffer from hypertension.

More than a third (35 per cent) of 16 to 34-year-olds suffer from high blood pressure, or hypertension, according to a new survey.

Almost one in 20 had either severe of very severe elevated blood pressure, the survey by Lloydspharmacy revealed.

Clinical pharmacist at the company Shafeeque Mohammed said: “It is something that most people don’t think they need to worry about until later in life, but it can affect you at any age.”

Mr Mohammed said an increasingly sedentary lifestyle young people live could be leading to them experiencing higher blood pressure.

Another office fruit that contains potassium which could help regulate blood pressure are the nectarines from the office fruit delivery, so munching on fruit at work may not completely eradicate the problem, but it could reduce symptoms.

Despite admitting to craving cupcakes and pizza during her pregnancy, Heroes actress Ali Larter recently decided to go for some healthier options, choosing fruit and veg when out shopping in Hollywood, reports the Daily Mail.

Eating for two during pregnancy and satisfying your sweet tooth is not beneficial to your bump, according to nutritionist and fertility expert at Foods for Life and First Response Yvonne Bishop-Weston.

Instead of going for the doughnuts, women should fill up on nutrient-rich foods, such as colourful fruit and veg, she advised.

This will help the pregnancy go “much more smoothly”, according to Ms Bishop-Weston.

Even if you’re not pregnant, the office fruit delivery could still have multiple health benefits.

Some of the offerings from the office fruit delivery are great on a hot day. Peaches and nectarines, for example, contain high levels of mineral salts, which help replenish the body when you perspire.

Writing for the Daily Mail, Joe Mulligan, head of first aid education at the British Red Cross Society, has offered some tips to help deal with heat exhaustion, which may well occur on a muggy summer’s day.

If you think someone might be suffering, move them into a shaded area and only leave them in a thin layer of clothing.

Lay them down and lift their legs to circulate blood to the brain and reduce dizziness.

Mr Mulligan advises getting people to consume something to replace lost mineral salts, such as water or an isotonic drink.

If there’s no improvement in 20 minutes, it’s best to call an ambulance.

To make sure you stay hydrated, particularly if you have to travel like a tinned sardine on the London Underground, it might help to eat some peaches and nectarines from the office fruit basket.

Cherries, meanwhile, are a good source of melatonin, which makes sure you switch off a little bit quicker when your head hits the pillow after a long day at work.

They could be the best thing to take from the office fruit delivery as, "poor sleep quality can lead to depression, as it affects your mental state", according to Jessica Alexander, spokesperson for the Sleep Council.

New research from Silent Night has revealed that new parents lose the equivalent of six months sleep during the first two years of their child’s life.

Around one in ten parents only manage to get about two-and-a-half hours shut-eye each night.

Ms Alexander said lack of sleep could also cause strain in a relationship.

"If you are poorly rested, you are likely to be tired, grumpy and impatient. If you are well-rested, and feeling good, you are going to be much more cheerful to be around. So by default sleep will affect a relationship."

Anyone who is desperately trying to get a good night’s kip should consider eating some cherries from the office fruit box while at work to help you switch off when you arrive home.
