Tag: Energy drain

According to research from Healthdirect, eating too much junk food can have a negative effect on your general health, including leading to fatigue and decreased energy levels. This is largely because of the swift and drastic impact on your blood sugar, a phenomenon often called a "sugar crash". In contrast to nutritious foods that provide sustained fuel, junk food drains your energy through multiple physiological mechanisms.

According to research, approximately 85% of Americans consume at least one caffeinated beverage daily. But can caffeine drain your energy rather than sustain it? The answer lies in the complex interplay between this stimulant and your body's natural energy regulation systems, which can lead to a dreaded 'caffeine crash' and long-term fatigue.
