The dangers of eating too much at night

Eating is a daily activity that people need to carry out every day, because the normal metabolism of the human body depends on eating to maintain. Basically, people eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and even if they are all meals, there are many differences among the three meals a day. The three meals a day have their own precautions, such as not eating too much for dinner. Today I will introduce to you the dangers of eating too much dinner.

1. Cause gastrointestinal diseases

Occasionally eating too much may not feel anything unusual, but if you eat a lot at dinner every day, your digestive function will decline over time, and gastrointestinal function will be impaired, which will lead to gastrointestinal diseases, gastritis, gastric ulcers, enteritis, constipation, colon cancer, etc.

2. Can easily lead to obesity

Our body is very smart. When it runs out of energy, it will convert the food we eat into energy. When it has enough energy, the body will automatically synthesize fat and store it under the skin, around the internal organs, in the abdominal cavity, etc., causing obesity, which can cause many diseases. One thing to be clear is that: "Obesity is a disease."

3. Susceptibility to diabetes

When people eat, our pancreas will receive signals to secrete insulin. The more we eat, the more insulin will be secreted. The more we eat, the more the pancreas will be stimulated. If we eat too much for a long time, the long-term stimulated pancreas will also get tired. When it is exhausted, it will stop working, and this is when diabetes comes.

4. It will affect sleep

Too much food in the stomach will affect the surrounding organs. These effects will transmit signals to the brain, making the corresponding cells in the brain active, causing nightmares and restless sleep. It is not difficult to find that if you have a lot of dreams in one night, you will definitely be in a bad mood the next day, and in severe cases you will have headaches, trance, etc.

5. Prone to stone formation

Under normal circumstances, the peak period of urination for the human body is 4-5 hours after a meal. Eating dinner late or eating too late can easily lead to stones. Because when people sleep, urine will accumulate in the urinary tract and cannot be discharged from the body in time. As food is digested, excess calcium is excreted into the urine. As sleep deepens and lasts longer, the calcium in the urine continues to increase, eventually forming urinary stones.

6. Prone to gout

Gout is caused by excess uric acid that is not excreted from the body, forming urate crystals in the joints at the ends of the limbs, causing redness, swelling, heat and pain. When you eat too much food (especially meat) for dinner, uric acid will accumulate in the body. Over time, problems will occur in the metabolic system and gout will occur.

7. Blood lipids will increase

Eating too much at dinner can easily increase the lipid content in the blood and enhance the body's ability to synthesize cholesterol. Excessive cholesterol and fat are transported to the walls of arteries and accumulate, thereby inducing various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, thrombosis, and sudden death.
