Are they feeling like they are moving slower after a meal or start feeling like they want to crash? For me, it’s important that I eat a good “energizing” meal to make sure I don’t crash in the afternoon and drag my feet. It’s easy to with all the poor choices of food around us that we have in today’s society, but you can still be cognizant of what you’re eating. For example, a lot of people usually eat some type of carbohydrate meal. The reason why you feel so tired afterwards is because carbohydrates turn into sugar after it is consumed and then you get the sugar crashing feels.

You need to make sure you’re always getting the right foods to make sure your energy is up so your body can do what it needs to do in a healthy way.
