EP73: Beat Food Coma: 3 Tips for Post-Meal Energy

from Med x Decode · host MedxDecode.com

Have you ever felt your brain hit "airplane mode" right after a big lunch? This phenomenon, scientifically known as Postprandial Somnolence or a "food coma," is a normal physiological response to large, calorie-dense meals. Contrary to the myth that blood is "rushing" away from your brain, your body is actually managing a complex internal shift. References: Balwan, W. K., Balwan, W. K., & Saba, N. (2025).
