Office fruit bananas are fantastic and it’s easy to see exactly what their a-peel is too.

They contain natural sugars which boost energy levels and help you beaver away at work for longer.

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.
