Sugar is a simple carbohydrate which makes it fast and easy for cells to break down and use it for fuel.
This is why we get that rush of energy after eating candy or other sugar-laden foods.
But we also can get that surge after eating healthier foods like fruits or dairy.
This is because they also contain many simple carbohydrates.
But because we also get protein and fiber mixed with our sugars in these naturally sugary foods, blood sugar levels do not spike as high or as quickly.
The protein and the fiber help to slow down the process, and also provide longer-term energy.
Fruits, vegetables, and dairy also have a ton of other health benefits that keep our bodies and brain happy.
So if you have a sweet craving, eat a piece of fruit, or add some nuts to yogurt.
You satisfy the craving, and you get something good out of it.
