I used to believe that worrying about blood sugar was just for those with Diabetes, boy was I wrong! Your mood and energy respond to blood sugar levels in the body. And on top of that, stress raises your blood sugar as well! It can be a vicious cycle. To get off the blood sugar roller coaster, make sure to combine protein, healthy fats, and fibre with your carbohydrate intake (eg. apple slices dipped in almond butter sprinkled with chia seeds). Also, focus on complex carbs like whole grains, vegetables, and beans as opposed to simple carbs like baked goods, sugary drinks, white bread, and pasta.
