Eat all the way
When you say "I'm going to die."
It's almost twelve minutes full
But often a few more bites are not a big problem
It seems that it can't really be held up
Do people really die because they eat too much?
Let's explore the truth together!
Will people really be killed?
Under normal circumstances, normal people will not be able to survive to death. It's not so easy to be held to death.
The stomach has a certain contractility, like a balloon, so if you want to "hold up", the amount of food you need is very large.
If we actually eat too much too fast, beyond the limits of what the stomach can digest, our body will also activate protective mechanisms, vomit or excrete excess food.
How much food can the stomach actually support?
Under normal circumstances, our stomach can accommodate 1 to 2 liters of food at a time, but the stomach capacity of each of us is different, some people have a small stomach capacity, and may be enough to choke 1 liter; some people have a large stomach capacity, and there is no feeling of loading 2 liters.
Therefore, there is no need to fight for the name of "Big Stomach King", some of which are created by innate conditions.
In addition, this is also related to your digestive function, the stomach has a strong digestive capacity, then the speed of emptying is fast, even if you eat more, there is no risk. On the contrary, those with weak abilities should eat less.
Moreover, among the many diet types, water is the fastest to empty, followed by protein, carbohydrates, and fat is the slowest to empty.
What are the consequences of eating too much?
The consequences of eating too much are also quite serious, such as gastric perforation, stomach rupture, stomach dilation, etc.
In simple terms, stomach perforation is a hole in the stomach, and the process is already painful just by listening to imagination. But that's not all, because the stomach itself secretes a substance, stomach acid, which is a super acidic liquid that can even corrode small nails. Gastric juice flows into the abdominal cavity, which is equivalent to soaking all the internal organs in strong acid, which can be imagined...
Although you can't stand to die after eating too much, but to bear the risk of so many other diseases, do you dare to let yourself eat and support?
How much to eat to be healthy?
In the face of so many delicious things, of course, we can't refuse, but for the sake of our health, we still have to keep our mouths shut and open our legs.
Eating to achieve seven or eight full is good, that is, the stomach does not feel particularly full, but the enthusiasm for food has declined, and the active eating speed has also become significantly slower.
