Yogurt and nuts can
reduce anxiety during your next presentation, according to a
new study.
Scientists in
Slovakia gave either amino-acid supplements or a placebo to a group
of men and asked them to give a speech.
The men who had
taken the supplements experienced half as much anxiety according
measurements of stress hormones in their bloodstream.
Yogurt and nuts
have very high levels of the type of amino-acids used in the study.
So a healthy snack might help reduce your anxiety.
Of course, at
Speechworks we think that the best way to deal with anxiety during
presentations is to rehearse like crazy. That means rehearsing
your presentation out loud over and over again until you know it so
well that no amount of nervousness can keep you from delivering a
great message.
So rehearse like
crazy and, if you want, have a yogurt. You’ll knock ‘em dead.
