How To Avoid the Thanskgiving Nap!

turkey.jpgIt’s so close, only a few hours away really!  You can probably smell the turkey basting now…it’s American Thanksgiving!  Turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie and the afternoon nap!

Is there some way to avoid the heavy eyes after enjoying the great foods of the holiday?  Is the turkey to blame or could there be other causes?   For the sake of the poor turkey who has had to suffer so much already - let us see if we can find other causes!

Unfortunatley we cannot let the turkey completely off the hoook.  What the turkey does contribute is an amino acid called L-trytophan which travels in our blood stream from the digestive system and later enters the brain.  Once in the brain this amino acid changes into another chemical called serotonin which calms us down and helps us to sleep.

There are other factors which would contribute to feeling less energetic.  A Thanksgiving meal tends to be high in fats which takes a lot of energy to digest also.

Alcohol acts as a depressant to our nervous system so when you lift that glass of wine to wish cheers to friends and family - you are adding to the nap factor!

We discover the turkey cannot be blamed alone for our relaxed, sit back holiday feeling.  If you cannot resist the need to snooze - make sure you are resting comfortably on a memory-foam pillow this holiday!
