Snacks for Success

De-Crankify Yourself

When you make decisions on the serious matters in your personal, family, or professional life, you’re not going to allow the winds of emotion to blow you astray. So why let whims, fantasies, and mental and emotional outpourings affect your communications at all?

Oftentimes, when your mood swings, the culprit is blood sugar. When it drops, you can become despondent and unmotivated. When it rises, you can get ornery, riding roughshod over other people’s feelings and communications. Luckily a couple of simple finger foods are the yogis’ solution. Just keep some fresh cut carrots and celery on hand and the next time you feel yourself getting a little sulky, pop a carrot stick. It will boost your blood sugar. If you start feeling agitated, crunch a stick or two of celery. It suppresses blood sugar. These hors d’ oeuvres are made to order in these cases. Support yourself with these snacks, and you’ll find yourself thinking and speaking more clearly. Snack your way to success!
