The body requires glucose (sugar/carbohydrate) to operate its myriad of functions. Just like gasoline for an engine. However, be cautious about what type of fuel you're adding! Believe me, I know it's really tempting to grab something sweet to pop in your mouth when your stomach starts growling and your mood takes a nose dive. But before you grab that refined sugar cleverly cloaked in that very appealing processed food package… STOP and ask yourself this question, "Did man make this food, or did God make this food?" If it's a man-made bundle of calories you have in your hand, I suggest you choose again and select some nice God-made food instead. That way, you'll get the glucose your body needs to stabilize operations, AND in a form that will wholesomely nourish you without causing you many unwanted consequences (not the least of which is weight gain and fat accumulation).

Feeling "hangry"? By all means get some carbs in your system, but make it in the form of a fruit or vegetable and throw the chocolate covered Easter eggs in the garbage!
