"Simple sugar’s roller-coaster effect on your blood glucose means you end up hungry again more quickly after consuming sugar-laden foods; and what’s more, sugar has addictive properties similar to drugs which serve to keep you trapped in a perpetual cycle of hunger, cravings and over-eating all the wrong foods." https://www.obesityhelp.com//live-a-sweet-life-without-su/

"Elections are stressful this one particularly so. If you’re feeling on edge, know it’s normal. Lots of people are feeling the same way. There are also things you can do to minimize conflict and take care of yourself. Prioritize self-care first so you can cope with what comes next." https://www.healthline.com//cope-with-stress-before-and-af
