But many netizens have said that I am not afraid of death, in fact, good habits can prolong life, so what harm does overeating do to the body?
Scientists have shown that if people eat 40% less food, their life expectancy may be extended by 20 years. Researchers at the Institute of healthy aging at University College London are working on a treatment that they hope will fight the 'disease' of aging.
The harm of overeating
I'm sure you all know that overeating can lead to obesity. Do you know other hazards besides this? If you don't know, let's take a look.
1, obesity
Modern people often eat high-fat and high protein food, which is more difficult to digest. Excess' nutrients' are accumulated in the body, and the consequences are obesity and a series of rich diseases.
Numerous scientific researches have confirmed that obesity will bring cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cholecystitis, etc. in addition to the complications, it may reach hundreds of kinds, which is very terrible.
2. Stomach disease
The direct harm of overeating is the aggravation of gastrointestinal burden and indigestion. In addition, the life span of human gastric epithelial cells is relatively short, which should be repaired every 2-3 days.
Overeating often causes the stomach to remain saturated and unable to work properly. For a long time, stomach ulcer and other stomach diseases may occur at that time.
3. Intestinal diseases
Scientists found that fat blocked in the intestine, will cause intestinal obstruction, black stool, with blood, unobstructed stool.
4, fatigue
Overeating can cause the brain to slow down and accelerate the aging of the brain.
When people are full, their blood runs to the gastrointestinal system to work, which makes people feel tired and drowsy for a long time.
5. Cancer
Scientists point out that eating too much will reduce the ability to inhibit the activity of cancer factors and increase the risk of cancer.
6. Dementia
According to experts, 30% - 40% of people who have a long-term habit of overeating in adolescence suffer from Alzheimer's disease when they get old.
7. Osteoporosis
Long term satiety is easy to cause excessive decalcification of bone, and the probability of osteoporosis will be greatly increased.
8. Nephropathy
Excessive diet will damage the urinary system, because too much non protein nitrogen to be discharged from the kidney, will inevitably increase the burden on the kidney.
9. Acute pancreatitis
Eating too much for dinner and drinking too much can easily lead to acute pancreatitis.
10. Neurasthenia
If you are too full for dinner, the bulging stomach and intestines will oppress the surrounding organs, and the excited 'waves' will spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, causing neurasthenia.
