It's called food coma. It usually occurs when you eat too much carbs, starchy,greasy, or fatty foods (fast food for ex.). The body is pretty much working to metabolize the food and may explain being tired.
yeah, your body is taking some of your energy to beak down the food.
i get like that sometimes.... but my cat is like that all the time he eats and sleeps .....
after hving food .. gastric glands will be active to break down food known as digestion ... for this purpose energy is required .. so the active process in stomach take lot of energy and will make tired or sleepy .. it is natural .. more food .. more energy required to break down ..
because you are full and you can't move much so your body shut down
I think that when you eat your body relaxes and your adrenaline slows down. I believe it is half mental thought. A time to recharge in the middle of the day or when you get home.
An hour after you eat you get your second wind. Your ready to go.
The body does have to digest the food. The stomach (a muscle) works and the various digestive juices must work. So body energy is being diverted to the digestion process.
