5. LOW ENERGY
Glucose is needed for the body to make energy, but it is vital to keep blood sugar levels steady so that we don’t have the highs and lows that happen when we eat too many sugary snacks. When we eat sugar, our pancreas releases insulin to help glucose get into our cells. This can give us a rush of energy. Once they are gone, we may feel less energetic because our bodies need more sugar to start the cycle over again. It’s easy to see that the sugar drop after a high will be more severe the higher the peak is.
