If you have a sudden urge for something sweet in the middle of the day to raise lagging energy levels, try eating almonds for breakfast – they should help keep you going for longer, a new study has discovered.
Almonds – a low glycemic food – help make you feel full for longer, and keep blood glucose levels down, say researchers from Purdue University.
High-glycemic foods – which include breakfast cereals such as Weetabix and Rice Krispies, white bread, doughnuts and waffles – are digested quickly, and result in rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels, often countered by eating something sweet.
