This tense moment will lead to stress, energy reduction, and exhaustion even when doing the simplest task. During such an overwhelming moment, a small indulgence like MY QT Bites can come to the rescue and serve as a perfect companion for a well-deserved study break with a little touch of sweetness and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much scientific research has been conducted and most of them suggest that eating sweet foods can help reduce our stress levels. According to an article by Vinmec International Hospital, (see:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinmec.com\/eng\/blog\/does-eating-sweets-help-reduce-stress-en\">https:\/\/www.vinmec.com\/eng\/blog\/does-eating-sweets-help-reduce-stress-en<\/a>), consuming sweets can improve mood and effectively reduce stress which relates to hormones such as cortisol which help individuals feel more relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This justifies why students will reach and search for desserts during the study session, especially after a long and tiring day stressing out doing assignments and revision. It is not just a sign of having cravings, but a natural response to releasing stress.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"440\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187449\" style=\"width:306px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.png 440w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Promotional poster of MyQT Bites<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself wandering in the Gombak Food Fest 4.0, there is one booth that you might not expect to fall in love with but somehow you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MY QT Bites is more than just a dessert brand; it offers bite-sized happiness and reward after a hectic day of classes.
