TASTE A BIT OF MINT

Take advantage of the benefits of herbs and amp up your productivity with the taste of mint. Whether fresh or synthetic, mint-flavored foods and drinks help improve focus and fight off the boredom and sleepiness that come with a long workday. When you taste fresh mint or something filled with peppermint flavor while trying to pay attention, you’re subconsciously fidgeting your way to improved information retention, better focus, and stronger cognitive function. You don’t have to do anything more than bite, suck on, chew, or drink something minty; simply grab a peppermint stick, enjoy its taste, and you’ll likely become more focused.

A study by Wheeling Jesuit University examined the effects of the flavor of peppermint on working people. Tasting peppermint was found to improve problem-solving skills, enhance judgment, boost the attention span, and strengthen memory skills. Researchers at Coventry University also found in a recent study that those who chewed mint gum increased their energy and felt more awake—adding benefits beyond the fidget of gum chewing alone by making mint tasters more alert. Opt for minty flavors of chewing gum, or skip the gum entirely and stick with drinking mint tea, biting a spring of fresh mint in your mouth, or snacking on mint cookies.
