Do I often fall into a state of deep lethargy after eating?

Fatigue or drowsiness after a meal is common and can depend on the type and amount of food consumed. Meals high in carbohydrates and fats may cause fatigue or drowsiness, as well as larger meals. Keeping a food journal and monitoring your energy levels after eating can help identify potential triggers. To combat post-meal fatigue, consider eating smaller meals more frequently, engaging in light activity after eating, and ensuring you get enough quality sleep at night. These steps may help alleviate the lethargy experienced after meals.
