Three foods may be causing your afternoon slump, says expert
An afternoon energy slump may be linked to food intolerances rather than ordinary tiredness, according to nutrition expert Oliver Goble of Supply Life. Dairy, bread containing yeast, and protein bars are highlighted as potential triggers for bloating, abdominal discomfort, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating. Goble recommends obtaining protein from whole foods such as eggs, chicken, and nuts instead of processed bars containing refined carbohydrates, dairy, or gluten.
