When many people encounter work pressure, emotional frustration or feel lonely, the simplest way to vent is to eat, as if only good food can make him find a sense of peace of mind and happiness in his bitter days.
Can eating really make people happier?
It really is!
The reasons are:
1. The parasympathetic nervous system is active
Neuroscience studies have shown that when faced with stress, the brain's "sympathetic nervous system" is activated, and we enter a "mode of excitement" with our whole body: a rapid heartbeat, as well as hypermetabolism and increased muscle work.
The stimulation of "eating" will activate another "parasympathetic nervous system" of the brain, forcibly switching us from "battle mode" to "cultivation mode", and people will feel comfortable a lot.
2. The pleasure brought by dopamine
Delicious food activates the midbrain-marginal dopamine nervous system that regulates mood, promoting dopamine release and creating pleasure.
3. Satisfaction brought about by elevated blood sugar
When the human blood sugar level is relatively high, the mood is more stable and pleasant; when the blood sugar level is low, it is more likely to be irritable, irritable, and depressed.
While good food can make people happy, be careful to avoid overeating! So where is the harm of overeating?
The top ten harms of overeating to the body
fatigue
Overeating will cause the brain to be unresponsive and accelerate the aging of the brain. After people are full, the blood on their bodies runs to the gastrointestinal system to "work", which is easy to make people in a state of fatigue and drowsiness for a long time.
Nervous breakdown
Over-dinner, a swollen gastrointestinal tract can compress the surrounding organs, causing "waves" of excitement to spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, inducing neurasthenia.
corpulent
The high-fat and high-protein foods that modern people often eat are more difficult to digest, and excess "nutrients" accumulate in the body, the consequence of which is obesity and a series of rich diseases. Obesity brings cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cholecystitis, etc., coupled with the complications brought about by it, it may reach hundreds of kinds, which is very frightening.
gastropathy
The direct harm caused by overeating is the increased burden on the gastrointestinal tract and indigestion. In addition, the epithelial cells of the human gastric mucosa have a short lifespan and should be repaired every 2 to 3 days. If the upper ton has not been digested, the next ton is filled with the stomach, the stomach is always in a full state, the gastric mucosa is not easy to get the opportunity to repair, the stomach secretes a large amount of gastric juice, will destroy the gastric mucosa, it is very easy to occur gastric perforation, gastric erosion, gastric ulcers and other diseases.
Diseases of the intestines
Fat clogging in the intestines can cause intestinal obstruction and black stools with blood.
nephropathy
Excessive diet can harm the human urinary system, because too much non-protein nitrogen is excreted from the kidneys, which is bound to increase the burden on the kidneys.
Acute pancreatitis
Eating too much and eating too much dinner, coupled with drinking too much, can easily induce acute pancreatitis.
osteoporosis
Long-term satiety is easy to overcalcify the bones, and the probability of osteoporosis will be greatly improved.
cancer
Eating too much will cause the ability to inhibit the activity of cytocromializing factors to decrease, increasing the chance of cancer.
senile dementia
About 30 to 40% of elderly dementia patients have long-term full food habits in young adults.
