We will talk about food today. After eating, we will get access to the show. We get sleepy, we become lazy and we often need to sleep after lunch so that we can spend the rest of the day productively and in a good way.
Every moment of laziness and every moment of tiredness creates stress in your day-to-day work and does not allow you to function normally. After eating, feel lazy, feel drowsy. In medical terminology, it is called post-prandial somnolence.
What is Post-prandial means ?
Post-prandial means after the meal. Somnolence means sluggishness, sleepiness, drowsiness, what you feel after eating that meal. You feel drowsy after eating, you feel sluggish, you don’t have life, you feel lazy, you don’t have energy left. to do the rest of the work of the day.
There are many theories which may be wrong, may be right. I am going to keep all the information in front of you so that you can plan your day well and you don’t spend a sluggish, drowsy, lazy day and you stay full of energy even after eating. We will talk about the high carb diet. Meaning you are eating such food which has a lot of sugar which is disturbing your glucose level.
And if you are also adding high protein diet, which means the amount of meat is also more, high carb diet means eating food that has high sugar content, you are disturbing your blood glucose level. After eating such food, you will definitely lose weight because the amount of glucose in your blood has increased a lot and along with that the amount of insulin has increased a lot.
We will talk about this later. If you eat a lot of high carb food, you will lose weight. If you are taking a high carb diet, then maybe your body will endure for some time. Gradually your body becomes resistant to glucose, insulin, high glucose levels, high insulin levels. And as a result, the cells in your body that are providing you energy, this glucose cannot reach there. The carbohydrates that we are talking about in the high carb diet, they change to glucose. If there is more glucose in your body, more insulin is released in your body so that it can be neutralized, it can be used. Your sluggishness, your drowsiness, the reason for your low energy is the high carb diet. Because the cells that you have to give energy to, the glucose has not reached there, they have become resistant.
Despite having so much glucose in the body, you are not getting energy. As a result of this, the high levels of glucose present in your blood are making you sluggish. They are making you lazy. They are not giving you the energy to do your daily work. More glucose in your blood causes stress in your daily work. You feel tired. You feel sluggish. You feel drowsy. And you feel like sleeping. Because of this, your whole heart goes bad. After a high carb diet, you can feel sluggish. And to avoid this, people take shots of coffee with the thought that they will be able to overcome this fatigue. But basically they are disturbing their night’s sleep cycle. And this is a nightmare for your productivity.
Meaning if you are not able to sleep well at night, then you will not be able to function well the next day. You will have a problem in waking up after sleeping. If we talk about the quality of sleep, it will not be good. The second reason we will talk about is that after eating a lot of food, why do you feel lazy? That your blood flow gets disturbed. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system. Because you have eaten a lot of food, the flow of blood, the flow of blood, it goes towards your gut, towards your stomach, towards your stomach, it gets more, in which we feel sluggish, we feel drowsy and you So eating a lot of food is the reason for this.Your brain thinks that to digest so much food, I need rest.
This parasympathetic nervous system is called in medical terminology, it’s all about rest and digest. After eating, another reason for fatigue is that in your stomach you are not able to digest the food. There is a type of acid in your stomach that can’t digest food. That acid is either not there or its quantity is low. To keep the amount of hydrochloric acid or HCL equal, it is recommended that before eating half a glass of lemon water or half a cup of apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water. Take it before eating. It keeps the levels of HCL equal and helps you digest your food. Disturbed levels of hydrochloric acid, which is a low level in your stomach, it causes you many more medical complications.
So indigestion is the biggest one. After that, indigestion is being talked about. After that, your heartburn, your GERD, Your bloating, gas, bloating, all these problems in your stomach due to not having the right amount of that acidity with you If you are on this routine, eating more, taking a high carb diet, you have more glucose in your blood, you have more insulin in your blood. If you are feeling anything in all this, then you need lifestyle changes, you need new habits, you need to become a new person. We will talk about another reason why you are feeling sluggishness after eating, why you are feeling restless. Why are you feeling drowsy? Why don’t you have energy? Another reason is not having a good night’s sleep.
I will tell you that in the beginning of my career, when I used to sleep late at night and wake up very early in the morning, that is, hardly 4 to 5 hours of sleep or a maximum of 6 hours of sleep, I used to take a nap in the afternoon to compensate for it. I felt that I was still getting tired, I was still getting sluggishness, so I changed this habit and adopted quality sleep at night. you are taking at least 8 hours of quality sleep at night. Due to the 8 hours of quality sleep at night, I don’t need to take a nap in the afternoon. I remain active and full of energy till the night. Due to the lack of quality sleep at night, when you feel light in the day and you don’t have energy, some people go for snacking and eat something.
eating a small piece of biscuit, eating a pastry, picking up a packet of chips, and snacking. After snacking, they feel like they are feeling better, they have got their energy back, they have got some life in their body. After one and a half to two hours, they need snacking again. They get sluggish again. This is not a permanent solution. It happens that you are snacking and playing with your blood glucose. Increasing the amount of glucose, increasing the amount of insulin and the same cycle that we discussed earlier, you are going towards that. It should happen that to give fuel to your body, to give it energy, you do not need glucose. You have to run your body on ketones. Ketone bodies It is very good for your body.
You have to make it half of your body. If you are feeling lazy, if you are feeling sluggish, drowsy, you don’t have to go towards snacking at all. You have to wait for a while. Naturally, ketone bodies are formed in your body, which reduces your hunger. You must have often felt that I am feeling hungry now. After a while, Because the energy in your cells reaches through the ketone bodies. You have to make your body a habit of being hungry. Otherwise, what will happen? You are snacking and after an hour and a half you are hungry again. After two hours you need to snack again. This is not a good habit. If you are eating dirty snacks, you will increase your bad cholesterol.
The glucose is increasing, its insulin. So this is a killer hobby that will make your body can be very bad. Snacking is bad for your body. If you are in need of snacking to stay active, then it means your body is running on glucose, not on ketones. You have to make your body half of ketones and I will definitely bring a separate video on it on this channel. I think the things that have been mentioned today, if you practice all these things, if you make them a part of your life, a part of your lifestyle, then you will never face this problem again.
