　　Because lunch is such an important meal (although some people think that lunch is really only for wimps) you should choose the food you eat carefully. Try to stay away from fatty or greasy foods and go for foods with lighter flavors. That way you won't feel like sleeping after lunch.

　　Some interesting things to try could be salads, sandwiches, fruit or, may favorite, noodles with vegetables!
