That smart fruity chewy gum is your key to success. Researchers tested 224 undergraduates from St. Lawrence University, dividing them into three groups. One group chewed gum before and during the test, another chewed gum for five minutes before being tested, and a third didn’t chew anything. The researchers then gave them a multitude of tests to determine their performance. The students who chewed gum before taking the tests did better for a short period of time than those who did not chew gum. Their improvement was strongest right after gum-chewing, before dropping to normal levels after an average of 20 minutes.
