The phrase 'mal del puerco' is the informal way to describe the lethargy of 'haciendo la digestión'. It's widely used in offices after lunch. Digestion is often aided by drinking 'mate'. It's common to see people sharing mate after a large 'asado' to help 'hacer la digestión'. A 'tinto' (small black coffee) or an 'aromática' (herbal tea) is the standard way to conclude a meal and start 'haciendo la digestión'.
