While it's unlikely that overeating could actually cause your stomach to explode, says HamHealthSci's Dr. David Armstrong, the extra digestive workload increases the risk of gout, gall bladder attacks and heart attacks. — via healthing_ca
Studies indicate exercise may help improve the the links in the nervous system between separate brain areas, improving brain health.Nutrition experts have long advised eating slowly, not only so you’ll savour your food but so you’ll eat less.
Armstrong says the holidays are especially challenging with so much rich, fatty, sugary foods in abundance combined with social pressure to try everything, which can leave you full to the point of discomfort. And drink water — but not a lot, says Armstrong, because it will add to the sloshing in your stomach. Without water, the small intestine siphons fluid from other parts of your body and into your gut, which can cause dehydration. Waiting an hour or more after the meal for dessert will also give your stomach time to settle before you pile more into it.ADVERTISEMENTContrary to the theory that you can literally “bust a gut” by overeating, Armstrong says that’s highly unlikely.
