How is your carb consumption and choices?

None of the following symptoms are fun to experience and can be problematic because of the ‘flow on effects’ they create. For example, brain fog could lead to poor performance at work; slow reaction times and impaired judgement are a dangerous combination when driving; and decreased mood can impact your relationships. Carbohydrates are one of the main stimuli that cause a rise in blood glucose, and a subsequent rise in insulin levels. While you do need carbohydrates in your diet, it’s important not to have too many of them, and to select the right kinds of carbohydrates.

Spread your carbohydrate intake throughout the day and choose complex forms over refined carbohydrates. Tracie and Deb our Naturopaths at the clinic can guide you towards better carbohydrate choices.
