feeling.To keep happy, people are likely to eat more and more sugar . This stops the body from relaxing, leaving people feeling tired and less alert.

But the study needn't make us give up all the sweet food . The World Health Organization tells us it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so when you feel tired , perhaps you can have this kind of sugar.
