LOW BLOOD
SUGAR SLUMP
When your blood sugar drops, it means
that your body won’t function at 100%.
Low blood sugar also increases your
body’s production of cortisol and this is
what leaves us feeling stressed and
irritable, as well as fatigued.
A SLOWER METABOLISM
Skipping meals can slow down your
metabolism as your body goes into
survival mode. This is what causes you
to crave unhealthy foods that give a
quick energy boost, like sugar and fat.
M
ost of us skip a meal
every now and then,
but when it becomes
a habit it can become
a problem.
NOT GETTING THE
NUTRIENTS YOU NEED
When you don’t eat regular, balanced
meals you run the risk of not getting all
the vitamins and minerals you need to
stay healthy. If you don’t get all your
nutrients your immune system could
become compromised, leaving you
with an increased risk of getting sick.
If you’re on the go and looking for a quick
snack packed with vitamins and minerals,
why not try one of the great-tasting
flavours of Clover Active Drink?
TIPS FOR YOUR ON�THE�
GO LIFESTYLE
Pre-pack healthy snacks and meals for
the day instead of only scrambling for
something when you get hungry.
Set your phone’s alarm to go off
at lunchtime to remind you that it’s
time to eat – and to take a break.
Eat small, frequent meals during
the day instead of a few large meals.
Breathe! Do some mindfulness
exercises during lunchtime to ‘reset’
and avoid an afternoon slump.
Keep a Clover Active Drink handy for
those days when you’re very busy for that
extra blast of nutrient-filled energy.
