Eating too much sugar can make you feel uncomfortable and even lead to anxiety and headache. These are all symptoms of a sugar crash that are pretty uncomfortable, but here are a few tips on how to fix them.

Stay Active

Chances are you’ll be tempted to take a nap after eating too much sugar, but try to resist this temptation. Stay physically active by taking a walk or doing some low-impact exercises, because this will lower blood sugar levels and boost your energy.

Hydrate

It stands to reason that keeping your body hydrated is crucial after eating too many sweets, because sugar can lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water or tea with lemon and avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine as they’re likely to make the symptoms of a sugar crash even worse.

Eat Healthy Foods

Just because you ate too many sweets this one time doesn’t mean you should punish yourself by restricting healthy food. Eat again once you’re hungry, but try to focus on protein-rich foods and healthy produce like veggies, because they’ll help you reverse a sugar crash faster.
