Discomfort that will always bother you if you do not control your portion size.
Unfortunately, it has become a very common habit to eat even when you are already full or not hungry at all. Overeating is a serious challenge for the digestive system and the symptoms are also annoying.
At a party, family gathering or on vacation, it is difficult to control your appetite, especially when there is a variety of sweets or drinks in front of you. It is noteworthy that the habit of overeating is not limited to events and can become a daily routine, which will inevitably become a cause of obesity (obesity is not just a visual problem and is a provoking factor for many diseases) and eating disorders.
The urge to overeat is biological and becomes much more active during stress, because when cortisol (a hormone released during stress) levels rise, so does the need for food. Have you ever noticed that when you are bored or nervous, you look for sugary, fatty or salty foods in the refrigerator? This is all thanks to the hormone cortisol.
Environmental factors should also be considered, such as what you do during meals, what time you eat, what your diet is, or how quickly you eat.
You may be overeating if you experience the following symptoms:
- Acid reflux;
- Bloating;
- Gas;
- Heartburn;
- Nausea;
- Abdominal pain;
- Fatigue.
The discomfort will go away within a few hours - drink water and move around to relieve the symptoms. If you do not feel relief even after a few hours and the pain worsens, seek medical attention immediately.
