When you get sleepy after having a big meal, it needs to be knocked out. It is called food coma. We have listed down a few ways to cure this condition.
1. Drink plenty of water
You may want to skip a simple glass of water after having a holiday meal. But if you are bloated, your body needs to be hydrated.
