Circulation: With oily foods, stomach emptying is slowed down and your circulation is diverted from your brain to the gastrointestinal tract to expedite digestion. This is the mechanism that causes drowsiness after eating a heavy meal,and can also cause muscle cramps if one exercises too soon after a meal.
