It is not a secret that many people today abuse food. There are many people that over eat or under eat, and risk their lives in the process. Not eating right can lead to many dangerous health complications that can even be deadly. By not eating food correctly, you run the risk of cardiovascular diseases, sleep disorders, malnutrition, and the use of many medications, which in turn can affect how you feel and live. Many of these diseases and disorders can take your life if you are not careful. Learning to use food properly and eat healthy can stop these issues dead in their tracks, even reversing many disorders in full. It is very important to know what can happen to you if you are over or under eating.
How to Stop Overeating
Overeating is one of the largest food epidemics we face today. People are always super sizing meals and snacks, or eating for the wrong reasons. This can lead to obesity and related health disorders such as, diabetes and sleep apnea. To decrease such habits, one needs to realize how to eat properly and when to eat. It is vital to only eat when the body needs food to work. Eating for pleasure or comfort, as well as over eating in general, does not help the body in any way. It stretches the stomach out over time and results in a pattern of continual hunger and over eating. This causes more weight gain and poor self esteem, which leads to more eating for comfort. Only eating when you are truly in need of nourishment, and while controlling the portion size of the meals you eat can stop the vicious cycle. Eating several smaller meals and snacks over the course of the day will sustain your energy levels, while allowing you to burn more calories to lose weight, shrinking the stomach back to normal size over time, and improving your over health.
Not Eating Enough
There are many people who do not eat enough. This can happen for a variety of reasons such as, afraid of gaining weight, not enough time to eat, or because they do not feel hungry. This can also have dire consequences on the body. When we do not eat enough we begin to break down important tissues for nutrients. This can gravely effect how the body works. Once the body is in starvation mode it will begin to store any food we intake as fat immediately. This can back fire on losing weight and maintaining a healthy brain function.
If you do not eat enough the brain will begin to shut down certain systems in your body to conserve energy, or worse, use itself to maintain nourishment to vital organs. It is very important to make sure that if you are not able to sit down for meals regularly, you keep plenty of healthy snacks available at all times. Eating just small amounts throughout the day will take your body out of starvation and allow you to feel your best. It will also promote healthy weight loss, maintenance of a steady weight, and keep your bodily systems functioning optimally.
