Maintaining a balanced blood sugar level is important. Our bodies and brains need some sugar to function. Complex carbohydrates (whole grain bread, pasta, rice, etc.) help our bodies retain a constant stable energy level by releasing a smaller amount of insulin into the bloodstream at a time. Our energy levels remain pretty balanced throughout the day.

The difference with the refined sugar found in some drinks, cereals, donuts, and cakes that enters the bloodstream is it quickly gives our bodies a quick boost of sugar. However, the bloodstream is then flooded with insulin to control sugar levels and in return causes a sudden drop, leaving us tired and lacking in energy.

Low blood sugar symptoms include: weakness, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, tiredness, palpitations, cold sweats, cravings, lack of concentration, fuzzy head, depression, anxiety and extreme hunger or lack of hunger.

Studies have been shown that stable blood sugar levels contribute to weight control.
