"Why Am I Always Tired?" - Free Resource For Ending Tiredness

 

            The classic Thanksgiving conundrum:  Everyone’s had their fill of turkey, gravy, and stuffing, and during the time in which everyone is supposed to be conversing and playing games… you all get drowsy.  And not just a little drowsy, the “let’s head home early and turn in for the night” type of tired.

 

            Tiredness after eating can happen anywhere really, and it doesn’t really matter WHAT food you’re eating (for example, many people blame turkey as the culprit in a Thanksgiving spread when this really isn’t the case) but it’s more what’s IN the food.  In this article I’m going to give you a little background on why some foods makes you sleepy, and also give some suggestions for yummy alternatives that won’t leave you feeling like you need to grab a nap at the nearest opportunity.

 

            Many foods, like the gravy and stuffing in my above example, contain a very high fat content.  Fat in and of itself isn’t all bad, we need various fats to function properly, but in excess the types of fats found in most foods can really be detrimental to your energy level…

 

And here’s why:  In the brain, fats help accelerate the rate of release for a chemical you may have heard of called serotonin.  While serotonin is released naturally at night, fats help release this chemical at random intervals during the day.  The chemical is meant to indicate to your body that it needs to recharge, and therefore make you sleepy. 

 

Also, yet another factor of tiredness after eating is the rate at which foods are metabolized once we eat them.  A lot of high sugar and high fat foods burn up very quickly in the body (1.5-3 hours) when most other foods such as fruits, vegetables, and some grains average 3-5 hours before the fuel they provide is completely burnt up.

All in all, there are more factors that go into tiredness than you could count on all of your fingers and toes, so it's a good idea to get some assistance when looking for a way to eliminate tiredness.  I highly recommend checking out my review of the 'End Tiredness Program' located on my homepage.  You owe it to yourself to spend a few minutes reading through : )
