A bit of a sciency explanation of why you feel tired after a turkey dinner (about the US Thanksgiving dinner, but similar in many ways to our Christmas dinner 🙂)
Today, we Americans will stuff our faces to a point that we have awaited all year.
Probably the most common Thanksgiving fare includes stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and of course ? turkey!
If you?re like me, you load up on all of these tasty treats, find a nice open space on a big comfy couch and stare at the TV, wondering why you just ate so much food until you quietly pass out.
Why does this happen?
