• You know when you’re out running errands and you skip lunch because you’re so focused on checking items off of your list, then get home hours later and freak out on your S.O. over, um, nothing? Enter the dreaded state of being hangry. When you’re hangry, your blood sugar has dropped, resulting in irritability, aggression and, oftentimes, sugar cravings because the body craves sweets to bring your blood sugar back up. The trick to keep these sugar cravings and crankiness at bay? Pack smart snacks — like fruits, veggies and yogurt — so you don’t reach peak hanger. [Health]
