10 diseases caused by overeating

Eating too much is equivalent to chronic suicide! Don’t you believe it? Overeating can damage the urinary system and kidneys, affect the cardiovascular system, and more seriously, cause a decrease in immunity! Next time someone advises you to eat more and eat enough, please firmly say "no"!

People have long had a clear understanding of the problem of overeating. As the saying goes, "Eat less to taste the flavor, eat more to hurt the spleen and stomach." Overeating can also harm the human urinary system. Excessive non-protein nitrogen needs to be excreted from the kidneys, which will inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys. Over time, the function of the kidneys will be affected. Overeating may also affect the cardiovascular system because the raised diaphragm after a full meal will compress the heart and induce heart disease. The biggest impact of long-term overeating is on the immune system, which can cause a decrease in immunity and lead to serious consequences.

1. Eating too much can cause various diseases

The chief health education expert of the Ministry of Health said: "In ancient times, the stomach not only digested food, but also stored it. It was no problem to eat one meal and then go hungry for three days. But now people have enough to eat every day and eat well every meal. If a person's stomach can hold 1 kilogram of food a day, just fill half of it, and it will be enough for the day. Otherwise, it will only overload the body and cause a series of health problems."

The direct harm of overeating is increased burden on the gastrointestinal tract and indigestion. In addition, the life span of human gastric mucosal epithelial cells is short and they need to be repaired every 2-3 days. If the previous meal has not been digested and the next meal fills the stomach, the stomach is always in a bloated state, and the gastric mucosa does not have a chance to repair. The stomach secretes a large amount of gastric juice, which will damage the gastric mucosa and barrier, causing gastric inflammation and indigestion symptoms. Over time, diseases such as gastric erosion and gastric ulcer may also occur.

3. Intestinal diseases

Scientists from Taiwan, China have discovered that fat blocking the intestines can cause intestinal obstruction and black and bloody stools.

4. Fatigue

Eating too much can cause slow brain response and accelerate brain aging. After people have eaten their fill, all the blood in their bodies goes to the gastrointestinal system to "work", which can easily make people feel tired and drowsy for a long time.

5. Cancer

Japanese scientists point out that eating too much will reduce the activity of factors that inhibit cell carcinogenesis and increase the risk of cancer.

6. Alzheimer's disease

Japanese experts have also found that about 30%-40% of Alzheimer's patients had the habit of eating too much for a long time in their youth and middle-aged years.

7. Osteoporosis

Long-term overeating can easily cause excessive decalcification of bones, greatly increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

8. Kidney disease

Overeating can damage the human urinary system because too much non-protein nitrogen needs to be excreted from the kidneys, which will inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys.

9. Acute pancreatitis

Eating too much or too well for dinner, coupled with drinking too much, can easily induce acute pancreatitis.

10. Neurasthenia

If you eat too much at dinner, the bloated stomach and intestine will put pressure on the surrounding organs, causing the "waves" of excitement to spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex and induce neurasthenia.
