Imagine your brain is like a car that needs gas to run. When you eat too much sugar, it gets too much gas at once, and the car can't go fast because it's overwhelmed. This makes your brain feel slow or foggy, like looking through a dirty window.
Examples
- Eating a big chocolate bar at lunch makes someone feel confused and slow by afternoon.
- A child eats too much candy before bedtime and can’t remember their math homework the next day.
- A person drinks a soda and starts feeling sluggish and forgetful mid-meeting.
