Why People Get Sleepy After Meal???



People usually wonder why they feel sleepy after meal especially after lunch hour. We will struggle to stay awake behind our desk and hope our officemate or our superior will not notice it. We will get 10 times lazier which we already are early in the morning.

As the staff we do not want this as a habit or some people may call it non healthy rituals to continue and it will jeopardize our carrier to some extend.



Some people think that after a meal the blood from organs and muscles are diverted to the stomach so it can digest the food you just ate. Thus, why you feel so relaxed after eating and why you feel sleepy.

Our sugar levels play a part in a person feeling exhausted. Like how diabetics feel faint when their blood sugars are low and that why certain foods get broken down in your body they turn into sugar. When you have sugar in your system you eventually have the mystical “sugar crash”. Some sugars are worse than others and will lead to an even larger sugar crash. Refined sugars are the bad sugars or non healthy sugars. These are sugars that do not naturally occur in nature and even though they give you a boost of energy, they will eventually make you tired and that is why you feel sleepy. Some people misunderstand the concept of sugar and by consuming soda, junk food and beverage they thought it will help them to energize.



Natural sugars, such as those found in apples and other fruits are best if you’re looking for an energy boost and no sugar crash. Sugars are energy, but it’s the type of energy you put in your body that determines how you feel.

Eat Healthy and Stay Healthy…
