When we are tired from work, we always say, let's treat ourselves to a good meal. Just as there are women who are on a diet, there are women who are passionate about food. But everyone thinks that eating well means good nutrition, who knows that long-term overeating and nutritional surplus not only fail to improve health, but can also accelerate aging.
Brain Metabolism Disorder
Long-term overeating causes a significant increase in "fibroblast growth factor" in the brain, which accumulates in the brain, leading to cerebral arteriosclerosis. Over time, brain cells gradually necrose due to lack of oxygen, causing functional decline, and even brain tissue atrophy, leading to dementia.
Toxins Damage the Body
Long-term overeating causes a large amount of chyme to accumulate in the intestines without being digested, and is decomposed by bacteria into toxic metabolic products. After these toxins are absorbed, they can damage the central nervous system, leading to slow thinking and reduced IQ.
Intestinal Overload
Long-term eating too much and too rich greatly increases the burden on the digestive system, causing indigestion. When food rots and spoils in the intestines, it irritates the intestinal wall, causing intestinal dilation, functional decline, and may also be complicated by colon cancer. Eating too much can certainly bring trouble, but eating too little can also cause many problems.
Hair Loss
For people who are too thin, the body's fat and protein supply is insufficient, so hair falls off frequently and loses its luster. If dieting is excessive, hair lacks adequate nutritional supplements, including insufficient iron intake, it will become dry and dull, and eventually lead to massive hair loss.
Osteoporosis
The incidence of hip fractures in underweight women is more than double that of women with standard body weight. This is because the estrogen level in underweight people is insufficient, affecting the combination of calcium and bones, making it impossible to maintain normal bone density, thus osteoporosis and fractures are prone to occur.
Gastric Prolapse
Women who lose weight by starvation often experience loss of appetite, bloating, and abdominal pain, which can all be signs of gastric ptosis. Those with obvious gastric ptosis often have abdominal discomfort, bloating, and a feeling of heaviness, with symptoms worsening after standing or exerting after a meal. In severe cases of gastric ptosis, it is also accompanied by the prolapse of internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and colon.
Uterine Prolapse
Without enough protection, the uterus is prone to descend along the vagina from its normal position, with the cervix drooping, and even prolapsing outside the vaginal opening, forming uterine prolapse. Severe cases can even lead to cervical infections or cervicitis.
Anemia
Unbalanced nutritional intake leads to insufficient intake of blood-forming substances such as iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12; eating less also leads to a lower basal metabolic rate than normal people, so gastrointestinal motility is slower, gastric acid secretion is less, affecting nutrient absorption. These are the main causes of anemia.
Memory Decline
The main driving force for brain work comes from fat. Eating too little leads to insufficient intake and storage of fat in the body, causing the body to be malnourished, which severely damages brain cells and directly affects memory, making people more and more forgetful.
