Do you ever find you feel sleepy after eating a carbohydrate heavy meal or snack? Perhaps you feel this so-called "food-hangover" for example, from eating a big bowl of pasta, from pizza, or from eating too many potato chips?
These refined carbohydrates digest very quickly, and so, they cause blood sugar levels to rapidly rise, and then just as rapidly, fall. This can create moodiness and irritability, and obviously, undesirable energy fluctuations.
Try to eat meals and snacks that are balanced, composed of "whole foods," and which also contain protein and good sources of fat. Slower digesting carbohydrates include vegetables, fruit, and whole grains. Almost all processed foods are going to assault your blood-sugar levels. Steer clear!
Do not underestimate how your food choices effect your mood and well-being! It might taste great in the moment, but eating junk food, WILL also make you feel, like junk.
