Excess sugar slows you down. Once you eat it, it raises your blood sugar levels.Your body releases insulin and tryptophan is triggered. The tryptophan is converted into serotonin, leaving you ready for a nap. When you're eating whole, unrefined ingredients that are naturally sugar-free you are loading up on antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, water and proteins that fuel your brain and your body, helping you to bounce through your day, rather than lug yourself from one sugar fix to the next.
