Struggling to sleep?

Did you know that a high sugar intake can actually mess with your sleep? 😴

Sugar gives your body a quick hit of energy which raises your blood sugar levels. That might feel fine during the day, but if you’re eating sugary foods or drinks later on, it can make it harder for your body to relax and prepare for rest. As your blood sugar spikes and then crashes, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, the exact opposite of what you want when you’re trying to drift off!

Try keeping your evening meals balanced with protein, healthy fats and slow-releasing carbs like oats or sweet potato. And swap that late-night chocolate bar (I know, it’s tempting 🍫) for herbal tea or a few nuts instead.

Small evening changes can make a big difference to how deeply you sleep, and how refreshed you feel in the morning. 🌙
