So if you’re working in the creative industry and require a lot of ideas and brainstorming but sometimes you feel exhausted, then this science study is perfect. 

According to Dr Xu from the University of North Texas, if you’re having a mental block or have a hard time thinking of new ideas, try having something sweet. The taste of sweetness can help to boost your creativity. Dr Xu explained that when you eat something sweet, it allows our mind to open up more as it associates sweetness with positive experiences and situations. Dr. Xu also stated that eating sweets has nothing to do with increasing your analytical skills or attention to details, it’s more of a trick to make your brain be more happy. 

Now that you know this, the next time you run out of brain juice, try nibble on some sweets. Hope this helps!
