Afternoon Exhaustion - Explained!

Do you crave coffee or sugar in the afternoon? Are you sleepy around 3pm and need a cat nap? Do you get hangry?

All of these signs point toward a tendency of hypoglycemia and your body dealing with low blood sugar. Blood sugar regulation is a complex system that involves your pancreas, adrenals, and liver.

The liver helps support your body in the short-term by releasing blood sugar and has the ability to raise blood sugar when it begins to drop. The adrenal glands will also help raise blood sugar in a crisis. Adrenals usually compensate for a weak pancreas. Hypoglycemia is debilitating and can lead many people onto a refined carbohydrate roller coaster to cope with symptoms of low blood sugar.

One tip for helping to curb this vicious cycle is to eat protein-rich and complex carbohydrate foods. When eating foods with more “time-released” source of sugar will help you avoid the peaks and valleys of poor blood sugar regulation. Foods such as eggs, fish, meats, nuts, and seeds will yield their glucose slowly and steadily into your system, thereby helping to curb the drastic spikes of glucose in your system.

Getting adequate sleep, practicing relaxation exercises, and getting natural light on a daily basis will also support your body in restoring your adrenals.
