Sugar Rush

Sugar rush refers to a temporary feeling of increased energy and alertness following the consumption of a high-sugar meal or snack. When you eat sugar, your blood glucose levels spike, prompting your body to release insulin to manage the influx. This rapid energy boost can lead to heightened enthusiasm or activity. However, it is often followed by a drop in blood sugar levels, which may cause feelings of fatigue or irritability. While the term is popular, the actual effects vary among individuals and depend on factors like the amount consumed and overall health.
