Nowadays, during the special period, what we are most afraid of is poor resistance and not eating enough nutrients. We often hear some people say: eat more, eat more, in order to improve the resistance. There are also many people who have this habit, even if they are very full and already can not eat, but also hard to stuff a few mouthfuls of rice, eat until they can not hold out. Most will have the idea that eating more will lead to more intake of nutrients, more strength, and will add to the immune system. But can eating a lot of food really boost your immunity? The answer is: not necessarily, and in many cases, it can be counterproductive. Eating too much food can put a burden on your body because your gut can’t always handle it, you’ll have more inflammation in your body as a result, and it can put a lot of stress on your body. Moreover, the food you think is nutritious may “eat” your immunity …… Eating too much can harm your gut and immunity Eating too much at once and overeating may make you feel full for a short period of time, but I believe that everyone has a similar experience: it’s a kind of “uncomfortable fullness”, which does bring a great burden to the whole digestive system. Great burden: First, was overstretched, may induce gastritis when eating a lot of food, the stomach muscles will stretch and expand, excessive stretching, will bring discomfort to the stomach, and exacerbate the workload of the stomach, and even in the stomach to stimulate localized inflammation. Second, the liver, pancreas and other organs overloaded The food you eat, in addition to the need for the stomach’s primary processing, but also need to include the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines and other organs with the cooperation of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines, if a large number of eating, is bound to increase their burden, and if serious, may bring about damage. For example, in order to cope with the intake of large quantities of high carbohydrates brought about by high blood sugar, the pancreas must secrete a large amount of insulin to lower sugar, overload work may make your pancreatic duct pressure increases, and may induce acute pancreatitis. Third, intestinal gas accumulation, triggering acid reflux food in the intestinal tract by microbial decomposition process, may produce gas, a large number of eating, this situation may become worse, intestinal accumulation of very much gas, will lead to bloating, gas, acid reflux and other conditions. It is important to realize that 70% of the body’s immunity, comes from the gut, and when gut health is improved, it naturally adds to individual immunity. On the contrary, when your digestive system problems, affecting intestinal health, immunity will naturally be negatively affected, Moreover, this effect is not only limited to the local organs, but also may be the entire metabolism. Fourth, causing obesity, triggering obesity with morbidity “new coronavirus pneumonia diagnosis and treatment of rapid guide” mentioned, the current new coronavirus patients are mainly concentrated in the 40-60 years of age between middle-aged and older people; critical illness accounted for about 15%, and most of them are older people, people with basic diseases and obese people. This means that the risk factor for obese people suffering from novel coronavirus is greater than that of the general population. Obesity can cause your physical state to deteriorate day by day, leading to easier invasion of the virus! Therefore, contrary to overeating, occasional starvation may also “reboot” your immunity, so if you still think that “the more you eat, the fuller you are, the better your immunity”, it may be counterproductive. The most appropriate way is to eat at the beginning of eating on the full, eat satiating food, eat low glycemic index food, other times to keep fasting, fasting, which can also improve further improve immunity.
