If you have a big test or interview coming up – have a roast beef sandwich first...

After you’ve primped and prepared – but before that big test or interview – have a roast beef sandwich...

It could really help your performance. That’s because roast beef is rich in zinc. USDA scientists tested the roast beef theory on some stressed out students. They increased their zinc levels before administering a memory test – and those zinced up test takers cut their reaction time in half and scored significantly better.

Zinc even helps us maintain our sense of smell and overall awareness and gives the immune system a boost. Some other zinc laden food options are oysters, sesame and pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate lobster and mutton.
