A study has found that pomegranate juice, which lowers heart rates, can help beat office stress, and also make one feel more positive towards one's work.

Scientists studied a group of volunteers who drank 500ml of the juice every day for two weeks.

At the beginning and end of the study their pulse rate was measured and they filled in a questionnaire describing their mood and feelings about their job.

The research, funded by the Pomegranate juice company, showed almost all of the workers reported being more enthusiastic, inspired, proud and active.

They were less likely to describe their feelings as distressed, nervous, guilty and ashamed compared with the beginning of the fortnight and most had lower pulse rates.
