Why We Feeling Sleepy After Eating?

Many people are getting sleepy and wanted to sleep after eating while still in working condition. Actually, this condition is not normal, because after a meal should be the body to produce energy that makes it fresh. But if you’re always sleepy after meals, you should know the causes.

Drowsiness is one of the marks given by the body to a rest. But if it was always sleepy after eating a sign that something is wrong in the food, the enzyme or the condition of their blood sugar levels.

There are three reasons why person sleepy after eating:

1. Enzyme Deficiency
   The enzyme can be described as workers in the body, such as a house that would not be built without a worker even though the ingredients is complete. Enzymes break down food consumed into units smaller so it can be absorbed by the body. Also enzymes can also serve as a catalyst to make something happen.There are three types of enzyme needed by the body to digest food that the digestive enzymes secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, endocrine cells and small intestine. Second, an enzyme found in all raw foods are consumed. Third, the metabolic enzyme that functions as a catalyst, to produce energy, remove dirt and toxins detox.While we were eating, the body enzymes to work very hard to digest all the food intake. Because it is too hard work, your body feels tired and exhausted when the food should be eaten can provide energy.

   But for those who lack the enzyme, the food you eat can not be a disruption of energy because of absorption of nutrients. As a result when the enzyme was tired, no energy intake and thus make a person sleepy.

2. Merger of inappropriate foods
   Most of the people do not know about the merging of food (food combining), namely how to combine foods to be used by the body as nutrients.Some foods require special enzymes to be digested, such as proteins require protease, amylase require carbohydrates and fats require lipase. When a person is eating protein and carbohydrates at the same time, it could lead to conflict within the digestive enzymes.

   Try to combine the protein with non-starch vegetables (green vegetables, but not potatoes or carrots), combining carbohydrates with vegetables, grains, fruits to consume only 60-80 percent of food or eating raw or steamed. Merging these foods can make someone feel less sleepy and add more energy.

3. The influence of one neuron
   The reason someone is sleepy after eating orexin neurons. Neurons are located in the hypothalamus, which is part of the brain that regulates many processes, and almost all hormones.

When blood sugar rises, this has resulted in employment of orexin neurons is inhibited. Consequently a person will feel sleepy because of the performance of orexin neurons is responsible for controlling a person to stay awake is inhibited.
