Many of you may have heard that turkey is the culprit for making you tired after eating your Thanksgiving meal. Well, its not really the turkey- its the whole meal! Generally speaking, most Americans tend to overeat on Thanksgiving. The combination of excess calories and alcohol (for those who choose to imbibe) are the main reason we tend to feel so tired after feasting. So this year, instead of rushing to living room after dinner isĀ over to claim the best nap spot- head outside. Go for a brisk walk with your friends and family, and leave the zzz’s behind!
