What's on Your Thanksgiving Table? Fun Holiday Facts for the Whole Family Two years ago, we reported some surprising statistics about Thanksgiving feasts, including the number of turkeys raised in the United States and more. But where are we now? As this year's holiday approaches, the staff at YOU Magazine just had to find out! But First…A Bit of History The celebration continued when the colonies became the United States of America. In 1789, George Washington proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. The tradition of thanks was carried on sporadically by President John Adams in 1798 and 1799, as well as President James Madison in 1814 and 1815. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln finally proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving. Years later, President Franklin Roosevelt stated that Thanksgiving should always be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of the month–as opposed to the occasional fifth Thursday. Eel and Seal...Mmmmm! My favorite! Talking Turkey...242 Million Turkeys! Weighing In On What We Eat
No wonder we feel so full after those holiday meals! Did You Say You're From Turkey? Can Turkey Really Make You Tired? The problem with that theory is that tryptophan actually works best on an empty stomach–which most of us don't have after our Thanksgiving feast! So, it's more likely that the heaviness and the high carbohydrate content of the entire Thanksgiving meal are responsible for that sense of lethargy you feel, as your body works to digest it all. Add a glass of wine or other alcohol to your meal, and you'll increase that feeling of sleepiness even more. Then again, we all work hard throughout the year, so maybe that tired sensation is just your body requesting a well-deserved nap. Whether you spend this Thanksgiving eating turkey and sweet potatoes or sneaking a catnap in the afternoon, we wish you, your family, and your friends all the best on this day of thanks. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
