THE FUSE

Some days your energy feels steady and focused. Other days it feels like a bit of a rollercoaster, where you feel hungry soon after eating, craving something sweet, or feeling like you need another coffee just to get through the afternoon. Often, these ups and downs can be linked to blood sugar. When blood sugar rises quickly after eating, it can sometimes drop just as quickly afterwards, which is when those familiar dips in energy tend to appear. The good news is that small shifts in how meals and snacks are put together can help create more balance throughout the day.
