Health Tip #14: Tired after eating? Maybe your blood sugar is on a roller coaster

If blood sugar rises quickly and sharply after eating, this can lead to energy fluctuations throughout the body. One possible consequence: the notorious midday slump. A varied diet can help combat this: Focus on fiber such as whole grains and legumes, and always combine carbohydrates with protein or fat. So, oatmeal with nuts and yogurt is better than toast with jam.
