When you’re working on a high-stakes project, should you make a Starbucks run? Depends on your gender!
In a study simulating the workplace, caffeinated women were more confident in their performance when they were stressed. And for good reason—they performed better on collaborative tasks than men did.
Coffee affected men’s confidence, but for the worse! Caffeine impaired men’s performance on stressful work tasks.
In addition to these brain-boosting benefits, other studies suggest coffee can make you younger, improving memory and reducing your risk of postmenopausal breast cancer and stroke.
Day-to-day, stress isn’t pretty. It can lead to breakouts and cranky moods. So drink a (filtered) cup of Joe to get through that meeting, but if you’re stressed on a daily basis, make time to unwind with yoga or a quiet moment alone.
