It isn't just fruits and veggies that can fuel efficiency.

Another strategy to boost work performance is to watch a funny video and/or have a snack!

According to scientists at the University of Warwick, eating chocolate and watching funny videos boosted worker productivity by 12 percent.

So, a combination of fruits, veggies, a little chocolate and a cat video may be the key to getting that promotion you always wanted.

That's some work ethic I could get on board with.
