Many people are so sleepy and wanted to
sleep after eating but is in working condition. Actually,
this condition is not normal, because after eating the body should
produce energy that makes it fresh. But if
you're always sleepy after eating, you should know the reasons why.
Drowsiness is one of the signs given by the
body for a person at rest. But if so sleepy after
eating a sign that something is wrong with the food, enzyme or blood
sugar condition.
As quoted from Helium and
Steadyhealth, Tuesday (20/4/2010) there are three reasons that cause a
person to feel sleepy after eating, namely:
1. Enzyme deficiencyEnzymes can be described as a worker in
the body, such as a house can not be built without the workers even
though the ingredients are complete. Enzymes break down the food consumed into
units smaller so that it can be absorbed by the body. Besides enzymes could also serve as a
catalyst to make things happen.
There are three types of enzymes
needed by the body to digest food digestive enzymes secreted by the
salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, endocrine cells and small intestine.
Second, an enzyme found in all raw foods
consumed. Thirdly, metabolic enzymes that serve as catalysts, to produce
energy, remove waste and toxins detoxification.
While we were eating, the body's
enzymes work very hard in order to digest all the food intake. Because it is
too hard work, your body feels tired and exhausted when foods should be
eaten to provide energy.
But for those who lack the enzyme,
the food you eat into energy can not because there is impaired
absorption of nutrients. As
a result, when the enzyme was tired, no energy intake that makes a
person sleepy.
2. Improper food MergerMost of the people did
not know about the incorporation of food (food combining) is a way of
combining foods to be used by the body as nutrients.
Some foods need to be digested its
own enzymes such as proteases require protein, carbohydrates and fats
require require amylase lipase. When someone is eating
protein and carbohydrates together, it could pose a conflict of enzymes
in digestion.
Try to combine proteins with non-starch
vegetables (green vegetables, but not potatoes or carrots), combining
carbohydrates with vegetables, whole grains, eat fruit or consume only
60-80 percent raw or steamed. The incorporation of these foods can make a person feel
less sleepy and add more energy.
3. Influence of one neuronThe
reason a person is sleepy after eating orexin neurons. These neurons
located in the hypothalamus, which is part of the brain that regulates
many processes as well as nearly all hormone.
When blood sugar levels rise, this
resulted in the work of orexin neurons is inhibited. As a result, a person will feel sleepy because of the
performance of orexin neurons is responsible for the control of a
person to stay awake inhibited.
