Question: Why do we get tired soon after eating!?
And I'm not just talking about Thanksgiving dinner and triptophan!.!.!.just in general!. My friends and I often get sleepy after eating lunch, and it makes the rest of the day take forever! What causes this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Its because your body devotes so much of its energy to digesting your food!. It takes quite a while!. Hence, siestas occuring after lunch :)

btw, triptophan in turkey doesn't really cause sleepiness-it's because most of the time when people eat turkey, it's thanksgiving and they eat waaaay too much, which causes the body to want to shut down everything but the digestive system-lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

too much carb!. have a mixture of protein and carb!. I know peeps say not to but you stay fuller for longer and not sleepyWww@Answer-Health@Com
