Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
