The popular post-meal "food coma" is not all about Tryptophan. Sure tryptophan, the amino acid building block for the good mood chemical -Serotonin, and the sleep chemical - Melatonin, may be partly to blame. But, the primary culprits are over-eating and hidden food sensitivities.
Many of us wisely sit down to the Holiday dinner table in pants that "give" a little. Elastic is a holiday friend. For many, their pants' button may end up being relieved of its duty, before it gives in to unsustainable thread tension.
Overeating comes in three flavors. Overeating sugar, pie, holiday cookies, sweet cranberry sauce and brown sugar laden sweet potatoes, results in a massive blood sugar crash. Contributing to the crash is alcohol, a nervous system depressant. And, last but not least, just plan overeating sends all of your energy to the digestive system. There is simply nothing left for the rest of the body systems.....must fight......the......coma.......zzzzz.
The other energy zapper is hidden food sensitivities. Many of us have had the experience of severe fatigue after eating something that is not "unhealthy" at face value. Gluten (from wheat and other grains), eggs, dairy and soy are the most common offenders. Despite the research that shows health benefits of all of these foods, for any one individual their relationship with one of these foods may be quite unhealthy.
Many predisposing factors can contribute to an internal environment that leads to food sensitivities. The bottom line is that instead of digesting the food, your immune system attacks it like an invader. Red alert!! Unfortunately your body's 'soldiers' do damage to your own tissues in the process. This may mean damaging your digestive tract, your cardiovascular system or even your brain. Frequent bouts of severe fatigue after eating may be indicative of a significant health issue.
Whether you are trying to minimize the holiday food coma, or have food sensitivities, there is a simple solution - AllerGzyme.
AllerGzyme is a digestive enzyme that is specially formulated to break down the molecules of the most common food allergens. By taking the load off of the digestive system, you will not wake up to find that your tech-savvy nephews have uploaded your epic-snoring-video to youtube. As the ancient saying goes: a man in food coma, can not defend his honor. Okay, I made that up, but it's true.
You can order AllerGzyme as well as many other professional-quality supplements by calling
