FOOD COMA

 

The unbearable amount of drowsiness after a meal. Everyone experiences it to some extent, but special care should be taken because it may be early diabetes depending on food coma.
Today, we will look at the causes and characteristics of food coma, how early diabetes differs from general food coma, and how to prepare for this problem.

Causes and characteristics of food coma

Everyone has experienced being tired and sleepy after eating a full meal.
This is a phenomenon caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain as the body's energy and blood flow are concentrated in the stomach for digestion, which is a natural phenomenon to some extent
There are many cases where it is so severe that it interferes with daily life.

So, what's the cause of this severe food coma?

 

high carbohydrate

 

1. High fat, high carbohydrate, overeating
If you eat a lot of fat and carbohydrates, you will feel tired and sleepy because you need a lot of energy for digestion.
When you eat these foods, you release a hormone called clecystokinin, which causes drowsiness and drowsiness.

These foods also cause inflammation in the body, which makes you feel more tired.
eat healthy oils like olive oil, which is high in fat but not trans fat Carbohydrates can be consumed as whole grains rather than white rice flour to eliminate the main part of the cause of food coma.

2. an underlying disease
People with gluten sensitivity or underlying diseases such as insomnia, hypothyroidism, and sleep apnea will feel tired after eating.
Therefore, in addition to food coma, it is recommended that you get a medical check-up if you feel general deterioration.

3. biorhythm
It is not in our country, but in some countries in the world, there are cases where a nap time is specified separately.
There's a reason for this: the human body needs to sleep at night, but around 2-4 p.m. is also a time when it needs some sleep.
Therefore, if you eat at this time, you are more likely to develop food coma.

4. Hyperglycemia and early diabetes symptoms
When a person eats something, insulin that controls blood sugar comes out. When digestion is over, insulin decreases, and this process causes considerable fatigue to the human body.
Especially for people with hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes, this will have a more severe effect.
Therefore, if you have severe food coma, you should question whether it is an early diabetes symptom.

The difference between early diabetes and general food coma

Then, how can we distinguish between food coma as an early diabetes symptom and general food coma?

The answer lies in the type of food eaten.
Food coma in hyperglycemia and early diabetes becomes especially severe after eating monosaccharide foods.
Porridge, fruit juice, desserts, white rice, white flour foods, etc. For people with diabetes or high blood sugar, their blood sugar levels skyrocket when they eat these foods.
So the human body rapidly secretes insulin to lower this elevated blood sugar, which makes you sleepy and tired as you become hypoglycemia again.

Not only those with hyperglycemia and early diabetes, but also those who don't have that much problem yet, shouldn't it cause food coma, such as overeating unhealthy and burdensome foods?
Let's not neglect food coma and actively deal with it.

EATPROTEIN

 

A diet to stop hyperglycemia

Please follow the following principles for healthy eating methods.

1, Increase your protein intake when you eat.
Increasing the proportion of protein with meat, seafood, legumes, and eggs makes you a full and satisfying meal even if you eat less carbohydrates.
Excessive consumption of carbohydrates is the first cause of food coma.

2. Eat complex carbohydrates instead of monosaccharides.
Stay away from white rice, bread, rice cakes, and noodles as much as possible and replace them with whole-grain bread, brown rice, and mixed-grain rice.

3. Please refrain from eating sweet foods as much as possible
Sugar and starch syrup should be avoided because they raise blood sugar quickly and increase insulin resistance.
Be careful of various desserts and fruit juices.

4. Be careful of alcohol, salty food, and fried food
Alcohol inhibits the synthesis of glucose in the liver, causing high blood sugar, and salty foods increase blood pressure and overwork the kidneys.
Fries are mostly made from unhealthy oils, which stimulate appetite and lead to overeating.

In the end, it is not an exaggeration to say that what you eat makes your body and causes food coma, so eating healthy foods is the secret to maintaining blood sugar stably.

All diseases have prognostic symptoms and early detection and management can prevent them from worsening.
I hope you don't forget that health is prevention and management first and second.
