Abstract
- The article focuses on the study that shows the importance of blood glucose as part of the energy source of self-control. The failures of self-control appears when glucose is low or cannot be mobilized effectively to the brain. It is important to restore glucose to a sufficient level to improve self-control. The contribution of alcohol in lowering glucose throughout the brain and body is also discussed.
