It is the bane of many an office worker’s life – you have been at work all morning, popped out for lunch and now sitting at your desk tired and sluggish all you want to do is rest your head on the keyboard and go to sleep.

But did you know that the office fruit basket is brilliant for helping you beat the afternoon slump?

Bananas in particular are brilliant in terms of not only their health benefits but also their energy boosting properties, which are down to abundance of vitamins and minerals.

Rich in potassium and natural sugars, eating just two bananas will give you enough energy to make the next hour and a half seem like a breeze.

The yellow-skinned fruit also have two times as many carbohydrates as an apple, five times as much Vitamin A and iron and three times as much phosphorus.

All of these factors combined make the banana a ‘super food’ that is an integral part of a healthy daily regimen.
