What are the downsides of eating too much?

Food is the basis of people's survival, and it provides basic energy for the body. The amount of food has a great impact on people's bodies. The great improvement in modern material living standards has enabled people to enjoy an extremely high level of food supply. But this can easily lead to people overeating, which can have adverse effects on health. Let’s take a look at the disadvantages of eating too much. I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Obesity. The high-fat and high-protein foods that modern people often eat are more difficult to digest, and excess "nutrients" accumulate in the body, resulting in obesity and a series of diseases of affluence. Countless scientific studies have confirmed that obesity can cause cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cholecystitis, etc., plus the complications brought about by them, which may reach hundreds of types, which is very scary.

2. Stomach 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: Fat clogs the intestines, causing intestinal obstruction and black and bloody stools.

4. Fatigue: Eating too much will cause the brain to react slowly 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: Eating too much will reduce the activity of factors that inhibit cell carcinogenesis and increase the risk of cancer.

6. Alzheimer's disease: About 30%-40% of Alzheimer's patients have the habit of long-term overeating in their youth and middle-aged years.

7. Osteoporosis: Long-term overeating can easily cause excessive decalcification of bones, greatly increasing the probability of suffering from osteoporosis.
