2 SPOONFULS OF SUGAR IN CUP OF TEA KEEPS STRESS AT BAY

Researchers from University of New South Wales and Queensland University found that sweetened drinks make people less aggressive and argumentative as the sugar rush provides the brain with the energy it needs to keep impulses under control,stopping people from lashing out when under pressure.

2 spoonfuls of sugar in a cup of tea (or any other beverage) before a stressful meeting helps one to maintain his cool even in the most trying circumstances by keeping his emotions under control.

The researchers gave lemonade to a group of people.Some was sweetened with sugar,the rest with an artificial sweetener.The volunteers were set a series of stressful tasks,culminating in preparing a speech.After giving their talk,some were provoked by being told that the content was boring and disappointing.Those who had drunk the sugary lemonade rose less to the bait.
