Wherever you are at home or outside, there is a tendency to overeat if there is quick access to tasty food. Also, if you don't know how much you want to eat, the amount of food you eat will be out of your control. As a result, there are various negative effects on the body.

One way to avoid overeating is to understand how food affects your body. Also, one of the changes that eating large amounts of food at once can bring about in the body is feeling more hungry. However, this does not happen because the size of the stomach increases. Let's know 7 harmful aspects of overeating-

Excess body fat
 
Your daily calorie balance is determined by how many calories you take in and how many you burn. If you expend less than the number of calories you take in, the remaining calories will start to accumulate in your body as extra fat. So eating more than you need can make you fat.
 
Disrupted appetite control
 
Overeating affects two of our main hormones regulating appetite. One- ghrelin, which stimulates appetite and two- leptin, which suppresses appetite.
 
When you haven't eaten for a while, ghrelin levels rise. Then, after you eat, leptin levels tell your body that it's full. But overeating disrupts this balance. But eating foods high in fat, salt or sugar releases feel-good hormones like dopamine, which activates the pleasure centers of your brain.
 
Increases the risk of disease
 
Although occasional overeating does not affect long-term health. But chronic overeating leads you to obesity. And in this situation, various diseases can nest in your body.
 
Brain dysfunction
 
Overeating can damage brain function. Several studies have linked persistent overeating and obesity to mental decline in older adults compared to those who eat less.
 
In addition, a study in older adults found that being overweight negatively affected memory compared to normal weight individuals. Your brain is approximately 60 percent fat. So eating healthy fats like avocados, almond butter, fatty fish and olive oil can help prevent depression.
 
Nausea
 
Regular overeating can lead to uncomfortable feelings like nausea and indigestion. An adult's stomach is about the size of a tight fist and can hold about 2.5 ounces (75 ml) when empty, although it can hold about 1 quart (950 ml). Of course, these numbers vary based on your size and how regularly you eat.
 
Gastric problems
 
Eating large amounts of food puts stress on your digestive system. This can cause gas and bloating. Also, among the gas-producing foods that people tend to overeat are spicy and fatty foods as well as carbonated beverages such as soda. On the other hand, beans, some vegetables, and whole grains can also cause gas, although they are not often eaten in excess.

Can sleep

After overeating, many people feel lethargic or tired. This may be due to a phenomenon called reactive hypoglycemia. Because our blood sugar levels drop shortly after eating.
