Stressed at work? Study says a sweet drink could help.

A recent study found sugary beverages can help ease tension at work and make employees less argumentative.

The findings note sugar in drinks like sweet tea give employees an energy surge that allows their brains to control impulses and prevent them from reacting too quickly in stressful situations. These findings are contrary to the usual belief that sugar causes a rush roller coaster that could make people snap or act spontaneously.

So a sweet drink before a big meeting or during a stressful work day may help your mental health and stability in the office. What do you think of this study? Do you drink sweet drinks at work? Are you willing to give this a try? Let us know under "comments".
