Ever felt that mid-afternoon crash where your energy suddenly disappears? 😴 It’s often down to the sugar–energy rollercoaster.
When we eat sugary foods, our blood sugar levels rise quickly giving us a short burst of energy. But what goes up must come down, and that drop is what leaves us tired, moody and craving more sugar.
It’s a cycle that can sneak up on us, especially if we’re grabbing quick snacks or relying on sweet treats for a boost. The trick is to balance your blood sugar, try pairing carbs with protein or healthy fats (like an apple with a handful of nuts). It slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, keeping your energy more stable throughout the day ⚖️
And yes, movement helps too! Even a few minutes of gentle Pilates or a walk after eating can help your body use that sugar more efficiently and reduce energy dips 💪
