Yes an informative post this time.
I read in the Cleo magazine this month that,
"Out energy levels are not just dictated by the food we eat - they are also subjected to the bio-rhythms of our bodies. These changes depend on the level of cortisol, which causes a natural dip in energy levels in the mid-afternoon. Basically, having too much carbo at one time will up serotonin levels and make you drowsy... "
(Cortisol is a kind of hormone that creates adrenaline while Serotonin is a kind of hormone in the body that makes you feel happy or relaxed.)
Ooo...no wonder we get so darn sleepy right after lunch! Too much carbo right after a long day of hard work. Carbo which are foods like rice, potato or bread. No wonder. Dang!
And all this while I had the idea that you should eat more during lunch so that you can last the rest of the day at work! :P
