When you are extremely hungry and then suddenly get delicious food, do you overeat and drink excessively? The speed at which you consume food, in terms of both quantity and variety, is惊人 (astonishing). But after you feel full and sigh with relief, do you feel abdominal pain and bloating? In fact, abdominal pain and bloating is a type of abdominal pain caused by gas. The reason is usually eating too much and too fast. Because the body cannot effectively expel the excess gas, it can cause bloating and pain, which is what people often call "eating until you're stuffed."
We know that eating too much will make us feel uncomfortable for a long time, and it will also bring great negative effects to our health.
1. Stomach problems
Experts say that the direct harm of eating too much is加重 (increasing) the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion. If the previous meal has not been digested and the next meal fills the stomach again, the stomach is always in a state of fullness. The gastric mucosa does not get a chance to repair. The stomach secretes a large amount of gastric juice, which can damage the gastric mucosal barrier, causing gastric inflammation and indigestion symptoms. Over the long term, it may also lead to diseases such as gastric erosion and gastric ulcers.
2. Acute pancreatitis
Eating too much and too well at dinner, especially when combined with excessive alcohol consumption, can easily induce acute pancreatitis.
3. Obesity
The high-fat, high-protein foods that modern people often eat are more difficult to digest. Excess "nutrients" accumulate in the body, leading to obesity and a series of "rich man's diseases." Countless scientific studies have confirmed that obesity can lead to cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cholecystitis, and more. Coupled with the complications that follow, the number of related diseases can reach over a hundred, which is very scary.
4. Intestinal diseases
Scientists in Taiwan found that fat clogging the intestines can cause intestinal obstruction, with black, bloody stools.
5. Cancer
Some scientists have pointed out that eating too much can reduce the activity of factors that inhibit cell cancerization, thereby increasing the risk of cancer.
In our daily lives, we should avoid eating until we're stuffed. But if we really do overeat, what can we do to relieve the feeling of bloating? In fact, for those with persistent bloating and gas that does not subside, which means indigestion, in addition to moderating their diet, they can also use traditional Chinese herbal teas or dietary therapy to relieve the symptoms.
