If you think that it's just the turkey making you sleepy after your Thanksgiving dinner, think again. You probably just ate too much.
It has long been acceptable to blame our sleepy ‘food coma' state after Thanksgiving dinner on tryptophan, an essential amino-acid needed by the body and found in turkey, the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving dinner. However Kim Sasso, a registered and licensed dietitian at Loyola University Health System, in Illinois, USA, is breaking down the myth by suggesting that it is probably one's overindulgence in turkey, not to mention potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, that is the real cause of a food coma, not just the tryptophan.
