Sugar high - misunderstood

Did some research recently to substantiate a thought occurrence and found out that sugar high - is actually a misnomer. 

In Chinese... there's a term called 飯氣攻心.  Translated to "The Rice Energy Attacks the Heart."  When you're done with a meal... you're usually tired, sleepy, lethargic.  That's cuz your digestive system is busy working.  The other reason is because you ate a lot of carbs.  Carbs are merely sugar, saccaride, glucose.  With a surge in glucose in your blood, you get an insulin rush which then makes one tired. 

So why do people think sugar gives them a high? Well... there is such a thing as a sugar rush.  Or...if a body is efficent, it breaks down the sugar really fast and provides a lot of energy.  Children usually get a "sugar-high" not from candy... but from the fact the have access to a forbidden fruit.  C'mon.... 9 out of 10 parents use candy as a reward and only give them out on occasion.  So it's from the excitement the kids are jumping around.  Chocolate houses a lot of caffeine - which will give you a momentary boost. 

But all in all... try eating a bowl of white rice.  Or a baked potato.  And see how you feel in 20-30 minutes.
