Turn Stress Into Power

Next time the pressure gauge in your brain hits red, chew on this for a change. Working a piece of chewing gum for 15 minutes can crush cortisol and steady your nerves.
By increasing the blood flow to your brain, the simple act of mastication (Relax! That means chewing) can lower stress by 18% and enhance cognitive functions, according to Northumbria University.
This means that chewing over your problems can help defuse tense situations. Compound the effects by opting for a strong menthol brand: scientists at Coventry University found the taste of mint boosts alertness.
And if you don’t have any gum to hand, try asking a friend instead. Five minutes spent chatting to a colleague can also enhance your ability to make key decisions.
I hope this helps you to be outstanding.
That is all - 
David
