If you’re feeling tired in the morning or afternoon you’ve probably heard people tell you to eat an apple instead of going for the coffee. But why?
After all, apples contain no caffeine, but what they do have is about 13 grams of natural sugar. Those sugars create a similar effect to caffeine. The reason is because the vitamins from the apple are releases slowly as you eat it all through your body, which makes you feel more awake. The best part is that you don’t get the crash, mood swings, or anxiety jitters that caffeine causes.
So if you’re dragging today… now you know why to grab an apple!
