After a meal people feel tired because the blood has now rushed to their stomachs to pick up nutrients to disperse throughout the rest of the body. Eventually the glucose picked up will reach the brain, but right after eating, the blood will rush out of the brain and to the stomach. The best thing to do is relax for .5-1 hour after eating. Read a magazine, watch a program, talk to someone, or do Yahoo answers.

if being tired after eating is bothering you or interfering with activities then you may be interested in trying a low carb meal plan for a while. high protein, lots of veggies, some fruit and very little to no processed sugar (pops, pastas, bread etc.). your blood sugar is bouncing around and that may be what is dragging ya' down. if your not interested in that then i think you should just take the nap and check out answers afterward to see if you missed anything!!!

When you eat, the blood supply goes to your stomach to digest the food,so this makes you sleepy.The best thing to do is let your food digest for an hour, then go for a walk.

Do something non strenuous, to allow the meal to be properly digested. If you lay down don't go to sleep, that's the worst thing to do straight after a big meal.
