Why shouldn't you eat too much?

We are often warned against overeating, especially at dinner. But sometimes we don't realize the negative effects it can have on our bodies.

Here are the main negative effects of overeating:

Eating too much can reduce your sex drive.

You can't go into battle with a big belly because it's very cumbersome. Also, when you've eaten a large meal, a significant amount of blood concentrates in the digestive organs like the stomach and intestines, leaving the areas that need the most blood supply deficient.

American sexologists also suggest that a heavy dinner can inhibit testosterone production in men, making them uninterested in sex.

Overeating increases cardiovascular risk.

During sleep, most organs rest, blood circulation slows down, and eating a large meal increases blood fat levels, which can easily accumulate on the walls of blood vessels, affecting their elasticity and leading to atherosclerosis.

Overeating can easily damage your stomach.

After a heavy dinner with undigested food, sleep comes quickly. The undigested food is broken down by bacteria into toxins that damage the stomach and duodenum. The spoiled, undigested food also irritates the intestinal wall, causing swelling and impaired intestinal function.

Eating too much can easily lead to nighttime coughing.

Before we fall asleep, the stomach remains actively working, causing the upper part of the stomach lining to contract, allowing stomach acid to easily reflux into the esophagus. This is also the cause of heartburn during sleep. This phenomenon can also cause some people to suddenly wake up in the middle of the night due to coughing fits, and over time, it can lead to esophagitis and asthma.
