Why Do We Get Tired After Heavy Meals?
Well, to begin with, let us ask ourselves why we get so tired after eating? Why that feeling after such a good meal? Food is supposed to be a source of energy to your body and mind, why does it feel as though it is the contrary? The explanation is actually quite simple. When you eat a meal with too much glycemic-based foods, you do what is called a Glycemic Peak. Blood sugar is also commonly referred to as “sugar” or “glucose” in the blood system. When a meal is unbalanced and there is way too much of those sugars in the body for a short period of time its massive and rapid absorption will lead to an increase in blood sugar. In order to stabilize the sugar level, the body will secrete an enzyme, which will then cause a decrease in sugar levels. It is this rapid decrease, which is the cause of your fatigue as your energy level goes from an extreme high to an extreme low in a very short period of time.
Long Term Issues Caused
The repetition of the glycemic peaks and the sudden decrease thereof will eventually cause problems within the body syste. It may in the long run be the precursors of type two diabetes,. It can also manifest itself by small hollows during the day: these small cravings will eventually expose you to risks of gaining weight!
