Cherries are quite an interesting option to pluck out of the fruit box at work as they have been linked to general pain reduction, which is quite a claim from a humble office fruit.
They contain anthocynanins, which can block inflammatory enzymes, reducing pain. Researchers believe that 20 cherries are ten times as potent as aspirin.
People are so intrigued by cherry tree growth and blossoms that the National History Museum is actually about to embark upon the first ever UK census into the trees.
The plan is for people to count cherry trees around the country so that researchers can find out whether the dreaded climate change is even affecting the flowering of cherry trees.
Over the next three years, the project will monitor cherry trees, which are a quintessential part of spring, according to Bob Press, the associate keeper of botany at the museum.
The survey will be carried out on all the nine varieties of cherry trees that grow in the UK, which includes the wild cherry variant.
If you are a fan of cherries then you might be inclined to help the scientists with their research.
Or you could just eat them from the office fruit delivery and improve your sleeping patterns, as they are rich in melatonin, which has been linked to this benefit.
