Don’t Blame The Turkey

Turkey makes you sleepy!

We’ve all been told that it’s the tryptophan in turkey that causes that post-meal food coma. Tryptophan is found in all sorts of protein-rich foods. And many like chicken, spinach and pork have more of it than turkey does! So, what causes the Holiday Napping?

Alcohol just adds to the snooze factor.
