Tired of Feeling Hangry? Here’s How to Keep Your Energy Steady
Ever find yourself crashing with low energy and feeling “hangry”—that irritable blend of hunger and anger? While it might seem like a joke, regular bouts of hangriness signal that your body and brain are under stress. Low blood sugar can push your system into an emergency “fight-or-flight” mode, causing irritability and erratic mood swings.
This constant state of low blood sugar not only impacts your mood but also affects your overall health. If you have a chronic or autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s or rheumatoid arthritis, fluctuating blood sugar can trigger inflammation, worsen symptoms, and advance your condition.
Common brain-related symptoms of low blood sugar include:
- Irritability and mood swings
- Lightheadedness and fatigue
- Shakiness and agitation
- Nervousness and poor memory
- Energy crashes, particularly in the afternoon
To prevent these energy dips and manage hangriness:
- Never skip meals
- Avoid foods you’re sensitive to
- Cut down on sugars and processed starches
- Eat plenty of vegetables, fiber, and healthy fats
- Minimize caffeine intake
- Opt for small, frequent meals to stabilize blood sugar
Taking control of your nutrition can help you maintain steady energy levels and reduce those frustrating moments of hangriness. Start implementing these tips and see the difference in your overall well-being!
