Blood Sugar Levels

Blood Sugar Levels

Controlling our blood sugar can also help with concentration. Have you ever suffered from the mid afternoon drop in energy levels? Many people often become tired mid afternoon due to a drop in blood sugar. This can result in a craving for something sweet- does the 3pm chocolate snack sound familiar? It is best to avoid this temptation as this will only cause a sharp peak in blood sugar follow by an equally sharp decline leaving us feeling irritable, lethargic and generally still hungry! It's best to choose a slow releasing carbohydrate snack often referred to as foods with a low Glycaemic Index or GI. These include fresh or dried fruit, a handful of nuts or even a low fat muffin.
