If you’re having a particularly stressful day at work, you might want to head for the peaches or nectarines in the office fruit delivery.
Potassium, which is present in high quantities in the office fruits, helps balance the nervous system with its beneficial effect on heartbeat and muscular contraction.
Women might want to head to the office fruit basket to help combat their emotional stress levels, which a new study has revealed to be far higher than in men.
The brain chemistry in the fairer sex makes them more sensitive to lower levels of a key stress hormone, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF).
Researchers in the US, who conducted the study on rats, found that females have neurons that are more sensitive to CRF.
Study leader Dr Rita Valentino from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia said: "This may help to explain why women are twice as vulnerable as men to stress-related disorders."
So if you’re a female suffering from a particularly stressful experience at work, you might want to delve into the office fruit box quickly in an attempt to stave off some of that CRF sensitivity.
