The big slice with potatoes has again tasted excellent, but you will notice you feel sluggish, tired, and lustful on the way from the canteen to the desk. Now it is good to know what helps against “schnitzel starvation”.
Simply annoying: tiredness after eating
The fact that we get tired after eating is not a sign of illness. Even those who enjoy the best health are not spared from the phenomenon. The stomach needs blood for digestion, which is missing elsewhere. The brain gets less oxygen, and the concentration decreases.
While the lunch bottom on the home sofa can no longer be disturbed and bridged with a nap, it is a problem in the office: here, we cannot just put our heads on the desk and close our eyes. Therefore, you should prevent the “soup coma” on working days and ensure a healthy diet in the workplace. Experts tell you what matters and how and with what you get fit through the day. Eating foods that not only raise blood sugar for a short time but also keep it constant is recommended.
Because of their short-lived effect as a wake-up agent, sweets are not recommended for office snacks to cut off fatigue after a meal. In the afternoon, ensure you have fresh energy with long-saturating foods containing complex carbohydrates. Drink a lot because too little fluid also causes sluggishness.
If you are already in the “Fresskoma” trap, exercise helps. The old wisdom “After eating, you should rest or take a thousand steps” is true! This is not about doing intense sports; a small lunch walk is enough. It supports the intestine in digestive work, helps prevent feeling full after eating, and brings up circulation. If you can’t get away from the desk, at least ventilate well and do some relaxation exercises.
Prevention starts the day before
By the way, preventing bleaching fatigue after eating begins the night before. As for your last meal before bed, do not choose too much food: this can interfere with your sleep at night. If you have slept poorly, the body demands its right to rest the next day. Do not miss breakfast; fill up the empty energy storage overnight. Otherwise, you will double your weight at lunchtime and will be guaranteed to suffer from fatigue after eating.
If all the countermeasures bring nothing and even chronic exhaustion becomes widespread, you should get checked by a doctor. Behind such pronounced symptoms can be diseases such as diabetes.
