Fighting The "I-Tis"

To all those who are vegan-curious: Who says you can only eat three meals a day? Eat as many plants as you want - if you're hungry a couple of hours after a meal, EAT!

You know that "I-tis" that happens in many homes on Sunday afternoons after the BIG Sunday dinner? Well, that sleepiness no longer happens when you're a whole-foods-plant-based vegan. Nope, no heavy eye-lids - no looming feeling of a nap - doesn't happen.

Why? When you feel deathly sleepy after a meal (this is so sad), your body literally has to put you to sleep to digest the foreign substances (animal products) you just consumed in HUGE quantities. Yes, digesting meat is LABOR-INTENSIVE for your poor system. . . so it takes everything it has - to tackle this "meal" - so, in order for some form of digestion to occur, your body has to put you to sleep. It cannot function with you awake with that FULL meat belly. 

In the Black culture, the "I-tis" is welcomed and embraced. . . most think it's a signature of a good meal to get sleepy. Oh, but for the lack of knowledge. Scientifically, this self-torture doesn't happen with plant-based vegans. The body can readily recognize plants and can easily digest them so our energy goes through the roof rather than fighting the nap of our life - yes, even after a meal. No nap required.
