Whether you are at home with small children, sitting at your desk at work, or out and about trying to get things done, when 3pm comes it is tough to keep up the energy to last the rest of the day. Try reaching for an apple and some almonds or even a string cheese and some whole grain crackers. Stay away from the refined sugars!
You don't have to understand how your brain processes sugar to know that after you eat a meal high in carbohydrates or sugar, you feel a slump, have trouble focusing and start to fall asleep.
Begin to look at food as fuel.
You can only expect your brain to work as well as the fuel you put in your body to operate it's control center.
You would not put dirty gasoline in a race car and expect the engine to operate optimally.
