"Be prepared when you’re out and about by carrying your own healthy snacks. If hunger strikes unexpectedly, reaching for a sugary snack can disrupt your hormones and your stress levels. Instead try these low sugar bites that are packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals and will help keep a calm mood.” Dietitian Dr Sarah Schenker.
