Eating Too Much Rice Makes You Sleepy, Watch Your Portion!

Dream - Rice has become the staple food for most Asian people, especially in Indonesia. Many people feel like they haven't eaten anything if they don't consume rice in a day. However, sources of carbohydrates can be obtained from various types of food.

Friend Dream can consume potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, cassava, even vegetables to meet daily carbohydrate intake with additional nutrients.

Actually, white rice not only contains carbohydrates, but also protein, potassium, fiber, sugar, iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6.

Although, the content of potassium, sugar, calcium, and iron is only 1% per 100 grams of rice. The content of magnesium, protein, vitamin B6, and fiber only ranges from 3-9%. Carbohydrates remain the highest content, which is 9% or about 28 grams per 100 grams of rice.

According to Doctor Dion Haryadi, feeling sleepy after eating can arise if consuming too many carbohydrates. This statement is supported by research that states consuming too many carbohydrates during the day will make it difficult for you to sleep at night.

"Carbohydrates can trigger drowsiness through the MCH receptor or melanin-concentrating hormone in our brain. High glucose levels can increase the activity of this MCH, causing drowsiness."
