1, let the body accumulate excess fat.
When you eat more than your body needs, you have excess calories. The body may store these extra calories as fat. Overeating will make the calories consumed far exceed the calories needed. Moreover, excessive calories in carbohydrates and fats are more likely to increase body fat than protein's rapid metabolism. In order to prevent excess fat from being stored, protein and non-starch vegetables can be supplemented before eating high-carbohydrate and high-fat foods.
2. Destroy the regulation of hunger on human body.
Two main hormones can affect hunger regulation-auxin which stimulates appetite and leptin which inhibits appetite. If you don't eat for a while, the level of ghrelin will increase. Then, after eating, leptin can bring satiety. But overeating may be due to its weakened function. Eating foods high in fat, salt or sugar will release hormones that make you feel good, such as dopamine, thus activating pleasure centers in the brain. More often, the body may associate these pleasures with certain foods, which are usually high in fat and calories. This process may eventually destroy the self-regulation of hunger, thus encouraging eating for pleasure rather than hunger. The imbalance of these hormones may lead to overeating and enter a vicious circle.
3, may damage the function of the brain.
With the increase of age, overeating will degrade the function of the brain. Studies have shown that overweight will have a bad effect on memory compared with the elderly with normal weight. Since the brain contains about 60% fat, eating healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, fatty fish and olive oil, may help prevent mental weakness.
It may make people feel sick.
Frequent overeating can cause nausea and indigestion. An adult's stomach is only about the size of a fist, and it can hold about 75 ml when it is empty, although it can be expanded to hold 950 ml. Please note that these figures vary according to size and appetite. When you have a full meal and reach the upper limit of your stomach, you may feel sick or indigestion. In severe cases, this nausea may lead to vomiting, which is the body's way to relieve acute stomach pressure. Although various over-the-counter drugs can be used to treat these diseases, the best way is to adjust your food intake, slow down your meals and prevent these symptoms from the beginning.
5, may cause bloating.
Eating a lot may strain the digestive system, and indigestion will pile up food and cause bloating. People tend to eat too many spicy and fatty foods and drink too many carbonated drinks, such as Sprite. In addition, because a large amount of gas will enter the stomach with food when eating quickly, eating too fast may increase stomach gas and lead to bloating.
Overeating will increase the risk of many diseases. Therefore, overeating should be prevented by reducing portions, eating less processed foods and cultivating good eating habits.
