10 Foods Which Make You Feel Tired by Handsomebrown: 12:17am On Sep 02, 2016
1. White bread
You should try to avoid carbs with a high glycemic index, such as rice or white breads.
In case you are having white bread for lunch or breakfast and noticing that you have no energy later in the day, you should blame empty carbohydrates for that.
Your morning breakfast or afternoon lunch can serve you up with a whopping 50 grams of refined carbohydrates. With that in mind, you should choose better options, such as brown rice and whole-wheat bread, both of which keep you satisfied and full throughout the day, without significant drop in energy.
High-glycemic carbs break down rather quickly since they do not have many fiber, and for that reason you do not get that steady stream of energy as you do with the whole grains.


2. Red meat
Foods which contain a lot of fat, such as red meat, are hard to digest for your body. The reason why you feel tired after eating is because your body has to increase the blood flow to your stomach to properly digest food.
Since your body needs almost all your energy to digest the food, you will feel tired most of the day. This means that it is time for you to stop eating bacon burgers during lunch.
It is highly recommended to eat salmon, rather than burgers and steaks. The fatty fish, such as salmon, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have the opposite effect of red meat. Omega-3 fatty acids help to improve your focus and brain function, since they act as an energy booster. In other words, omega-3 fatty acids will help you stay awake and fresh throughout the day.


3. Cherries
According to studies, cherries work as a natural sleep aid due to their high level of a sleep-producing hormone called melatonin.
One research has shown that cherries are one of the few natural foods which contain melatonin and help promote sleep.
It is not recommended to consume cherries during a lunch break, but you should definitely consider eating several before bed. Cherries also have a lot of health benefits which come along with melatonin.
A study has shown that cherries can reduce the risk of stroke, combat post-workout soreness, and also help fight belly fat. In case you want to avoid tiredness during the day, you may want to avoid eating on them in the morning or the afternoon. Eat several cherries before bed and get ready to enter into a deep and refreshing sleep.



4. Red wine
There are many health benefits of red wine. It contains many antioxidants and helps in heart health. However, a glass of red wine can also cause you to feel tired and go to bed.
Although you may like to drink a glass or two while you are at lunch or when you are making dinner, but you should know that alcohol is a depressant which can drain your energy very quickly.
In addition, red grapes also contain a high amount of melatonin, a hormone which helps control your sleep cycles. When you combine the high levels of melatonin with the alcohol that is a depressant, it is no wonder it makes you want to go straight to bed. Although it can seem like a good idea, but do not use wine as a sleep aid. According to the studies, while it can help you to fall asleep faster, it can also make you more likely to wake up during the night.
