In the words of <strong>Nikolay Kukushkin<\/strong>, Clinical Associate Professor of Life Sciences at New York University, &#8216;food coma is a behavioral response to food intake when the animal, human or otherwise, slows down and relaxes after ingesting a meal\u2026.

The results revealed that students tested in the first hour after eating performed markedly worse, with Herv\u00e9 noting in Gastropod that &#8216;taking the tests in the postprandial period reduced their cognitive ability by between 5% and 9% on all these types of tests. That&#8217;s a substantial reduction in their ability to perform.&#8217; Through the research, it was thus discovered that food coma not only produces a simple feeling of fatigue but also somehow causes <strong>cognitive impairment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click\u00a0here\u00a0to read the Spanish version.
