Research by Japanese experts has found that frequent overeating, especially a very large dinner, causes the total caloric intake to far exceed the body's needs. This leads to an excess of body fat, increased blood lipids, and promotes cerebral arteriosclerosis. It also causes a significant increase in a substance called "fibroblast growth factor."
Research by Japanese experts has found that frequent overeating, especially a very large dinner, causes the total caloric intake to far exceed the body's needs. This leads to an excess of body fat, increased blood lipids, and promotes cerebral arteriosclerosis. It also causes a significant increase in a substance called "fibroblast growth factor." This factor can cause the proliferation of capillary endothelial cells and fat cells, thereby promoting the development of arteriosclerosis. If one overeats for a long period, the increase of this growth factor in the brain can lead to the hardening of cerebral blood vessels, reducing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain. This can result in a decline in memory, premature aging of the brain, and mental dullness.
