Some of us can connect the dots between our unhealthy eating patterns and mood swings. Nutritional imbalances and fluctuations of blood sugar are often the culprits. 

These diet shortfalls may be caused by eating too many processed or refined carbs, skipping meals, or cutting out entire food groups from your diet.

Such habits can cause blood sugars to swing up and down, leading to low energy levels, tiredness, and feelings of irritability.
