Do you crave for a quick nap or feel lethargic at work right after having lunch?
Although there are many factors that regulate our sleep-wake system, according to some studies, after having lunch blood circulation of the body is more focused into the digestive system as compared to the brain, making us feel drowsy.
In another research, tiredness after lunch is linked to intake of high-calorie meal like fried food or sugar rich drinks. Plant-based foods, on the other hand cause less tiredness as they are rich in fiber and help regulating blood sugar.
Avoid feeling sleepy post lunch by taking a small stroll under the sky. This will keep you active for the rest of the day.
