After a busy morning, lunch can feel like just the pick-me-up you need-but sometimes the meal that you thought would energize you is the very thing that makes you want to nap at your desk.

Feeling tired after lunch, or post-meals in general, is known as postprandial somnolence—or, colloquially, the food coma.

Part of this phenomenon is due to basic physiology (生理学): When humans eat, most of our blood goes to the digestive organs to process the food, said Sandra Arévalo, director of community health and wellness at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in New York state.

The tendency to get tired after eating isn’t inherently suggestive of something amiss (出错的). But there can be additional factors that worsen this natural response, making getting through the rest of the workday or any activities feel like a slog. Here’s what to watch out for and how to make adjustments.

When it comes to why you feel overly tired after eating, a common cause is consuming meals that are heavy in terms of quantity or quality. Not eating breakfast can lead to overindulging later in the day if excessive (过度的) hunger makes controlling your appetite difficult, Arévalo said.

Sometimes, however, the makeup of certain foods can contribute to tiredness. Fats are the hardest nutrient to digest because their molecules are much larger than those of protein or carbs, said Julie Stefanski, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. If you had a meal high in fat—such as fried foods or pizza—that could make you feel tired. Meals high in added sugar or refined or highly processed carbohydrates can have the same effect.

The fiber in so-called whole foods like corns slows the absorption of sugar into the body, which means they don’t cause blood sugar or insulin spikes and instead give you more stable, lasting energy, said Kristin Kirkpatrick, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic.

“A five-minute walk or something helps to improve circulation and alertness (机敏), as well,” Arévalo said.

Genetically Modified (GM) food is unfortunately becoming more popular among farmers and food processors. Crops are being genetically modified to resist insects, plant diseases, insecticides(杀虫剂). Plants are also modified to look bigger and better. Unfortunately the end goal isn’t providing nutrition for people, it’s to increase profit margins and to make food look better. In fact many modern fruits and vegetables are twice the size of what they used to be while having far less vitamins, and not tasting good either. Now research is showing that genetically modified food might even be bad for you.

GM organisms are organisms that have genes inserted into their DNA in order to offer certain characteristics. In this way you can make it better, or make it last longer.

Jeffrey M. Smith has published a study about the dangers of GM food. It was discovered that when GM soy was fed to female rats they found that all their young died within 3 weeks compared to a natural 10% death rate. Their young were also born smaller and they later had problems becoming pregnant. A study of pigs found that they also became infertile(不育) after eating GM corn.

Many people are eating GM food without even realizing it. The solution to this problem is simple. Human beings existed in their current form for hundreds of thousands of years. For most of that time we ate a diet consisting of meat, fruit, vegetable, fish, eggs and nuts. This is our optimal diet which leads us to live a healthy and long life. But over the last 30 years North America has experienced diabetes, cancer and heart disease. All due to the misinformation provided by groups who work on behalf of the manufacturers of GM food. The way to avoid obesity, heart disease and cancer is by eating like our stone-age ancestors.

【小题1】According to the author, what ultimately inspired the popularity of GM crops?
A.Rich nutrition.B.Unique taste.
C.High profits.D.Energy saving.
【小题2】What had we better do if we want to stay healthy according to the text?
A.Eat more fruit.B.Be vegetarians.
C.Eat more grains.D.Keep traditional diet.
【小题3】The text is organized in the form of ________.
A.time and eventsB.cause and effect
C.reasoning and argumentD.contrast and comparison
【小题4】We can infer that the lobby groups (in Paragraph 4) are people who are ________.
A.scientists who give out false information because of carelessness
B.doctors who try to profit from patients who suffer from unhealthy food
C.workers who try to cheat customers for the benefits of food producers
D.agricultural technicians who are responsible for promoting new product

Healthy Breakfast Mistakes You Might Make This Morning

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but these mistakes could make your breakfast less healthy than you think.


You wait too long to eat

If you never wake up hungry, take a look at your eating habits — you might be eating too much at night, says registered dietitian nutritionist Amy Shapiro, founder of Real Nutrition NYC.【小题1】, it’s a good idea to get something in your system (just a banana will do the trick) within an hour and a half of waking up to jump — start your metabolism (新陈代谢) and keep yourself from getting hungry later, she says.

You grab and go

【小题2】, you might be tempted to grab a granola bar or bagel. But if you don’t focus on what you’re eating, you could end up unsatisfied. “When we’re not paying attention to what we’re eating, we’re more likely to feel hungrier soon after,” says Andrea Moss, a nutrition coach. “Eating on the go can lead to impaired digestion from quick chewing.” 【小题3】, she says.


You don’t eat enough proteins and healthy fats

Protein gives you energy, while healthy fats keep you full and prevent you from eating too much, Moss says. “The old saying ‘a calorie is a calorie’ is false. It’s what makes up those calories that’s most important,” she says. “【小题4】.” Shapiro recommends eggs, cottage cheese, nut butter, and yogurt to give your breakfast a protein boost.

【小题5】

“I advocate for plants in every meal,” Shapiro says. She recommends including a serving of fruits or veggies by cooking spinach or tomato in your eggs, adding avocado to your breakfast sandwich, or eating half a banana with toast.

A.If you are in a rush
B.You eat too much for the first meal
C.Even if you don’t feel like eating

E.Exercise helps us burn the calories
F.You miss the chance to include vitamins
