“Turkey does contain L-tryptophan , an essential amino acid with a documented sleep inducing effect. L-tryptophan is used in the body to produce the B-vitamin, niacin. Tryptophan also can be metabolized into serotonin and melatonin, neurotransmitters that exert a calming effect and regulates sleep. However, L-tryptophan needs to be taken on an empty stomach and without any other amino acids or protein in order to make you drowsy. There's lots of protein in a serving of turkey and it's probably not the only food on the table.
L-tryptophan may be found in turkey and other dietary proteins, but it's actually a carbohydrate-rich (as opposed to protein-rich) meal that increases the level of this amino acid in the brain and leads to serotonin synthesis. Carbohydrates stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin. When this occurs, some amino acids that compete with tryptophan leave the bloodstream and enter muscle cells. This causes an increase in the relative concentration of tryptophan in the bloodstream. Serotonin is synthesized and you feel that familiar sleepy feeling."
去年は感動するシーンが多かったけど、今年は感動に加えて爆笑シーンがたくさん。 夫と私は着ぐるみにハマりまくって大爆笑でした。 着ぐるみなのにダンスもうまいっ! Hairsprayの「You Can't Stop The Beat」もノリノリ。「I Swear」,「End of the Road」はめちゃHOT!!!!で叫びまくって、 最後の「Proud To Be An American」「Airman's Creed」では 綺麗な歌声に鳥肌が立ちました。 かっこよかったぁ~。来年は何処にいるかわからないけど、また観られるといいな。
