Ever eat a good meal… and then suddenly feel like sleeping? 😴
Here’s why it happens — and what you can do about it
1. Your blood rushes to your stomach
Your body focuses on digestion after a big meal. That reduces blood flow to your brain — and makes you feel sleepy.
2. High-carb meals = crash
Too much rice, yam, bread, or sugar spikes your blood sugar, then drops it fast — causing tiredness.
3. Lack of protein & fiber
If your meals are mostly carbs with little protein/fiber, they digest too quickly — giving you a sugar crash.
4. You overeat
Large portions force your body to work overtime. That stress makes you feel lazy and heavy.
What to do:
– Eat balanced meals (carbs + protein + veg)
– Don’t overeat. Eat small, satisfying portions.
– Avoid sugary drinks.
– Take a short walk after eating.
– Drink water, not soda.
