DON'T GET HANGRY

No one likes to feel hungry, just the stomach growling alone is very annoying.  What many people don't realize is the effect being hungry has on your mental state.  Brain fog, confusion, and emotional intensities are often associated with low blood sugar. Glucose (blood sugar)  increases your level of self-control.  Therefore when your blood sugar is in the normal range, you make better choices.  Now take a minute to think about how this can effect different aspects of your life.  For example, a recent study performed at Ohio State University, found that married couples acted more aggressively and were more frustrated with their spouse when their blood sugar was low. Getting mad at your spouse is a part of being married, but if you can better manage your anger, it would improve your marital happiness.  


So how can you avoid being hangry, yes it is a word?  
  • Choose foods with a low glycemic index.  This will help keep your blood sugar level and avoid severe highs and lows.
  • Eat 6 times a day.  This also helps to maintain a normal blood sugar level.  Have you ever went a long period of time without eating and then binged on high carb foods because you were so hungry?  This is the lack of self-control brought on by the low blood sugar
  • Eat breakfast within an hour of waking.  Breakfast gives you the first dose of sugar for the day and is needed to raise your blood sugar to a normal level after fasting all night.
