Although sweetness is the king of all tastes, it is the strongest for nourishing the human body, but it should be eaten in moderation. The sweetness of overeating can also damage the human body and lead to many diseases.
anorexia
If the food is too sweet, or if you eat too many sweets, you will often have symptoms such as anorexia, bloating, obesity and thick and greasy tongue coating. This is because the sweetness is slow, too sweet will lead to qi stagnation in the spleen and stomach, and food cannot be transported, which is a sign of "too sweet taste, not full temper and thick stomach" in Neijing.
A disease characterized by frequent drinking and urination.
The most serious disease caused by overeating sweetness or excessive nutrient intake in diet is spleen abscess, that is, heat, that is, spleen heat. It is believed that overeating sweets will make the temper stagnate and turn into heat over time. This kind of spleen heat is firstly the burning of stomach yin, which leads to hunger, overeating and emaciation, and then affects lung yin and kidney yin, resulting in more than three symptoms of thirst, polydipsia and polyuria. This is what we often call diabetes. At present, the incidence of diabetes in China is extremely high, with 1990 only 3%. In 2005, the incidence of diabetes in large and medium-sized cities exceeded 10%. With the improvement of people's living standards, eating fat and sweets is an important factor for the high incidence of diabetes, and the disease tends to be younger.
The reasons for this phenomenon are: first, excessive dietary intake leads to obesity; At the same time, feeding milk and eating starchy food too early after birth will also increase the probability of illness. This is the disease caused by being too sweet.
fat
Eating too much sweetness provides too much nutrition for the human body. When it is difficult to excrete it through normal metabolism, it will become phlegm and stay in the body, forming obesity. At the same time, when this sputum is deposited in the liver, fatty liver will appear; Adhesion to the blood vessel wall will lead to arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and even stroke.
lose hair
In fact, excessive consumption of sweets can also lead to another unknown harm-hair loss. Because the sweet taste belongs to the soil, the soil is full of water, the spleen is strong and the kidney is strong, and the kidney qi governs the bones. Its flowers are in the hair. In Huangdi Neijing, there is a saying that "eating too much sweetness leads to bone pain and hair loss", so eating too much sweetness sometimes makes hair fall off seriously. Nowadays, many people have hair loss, so it is necessary to check whether they have eaten too many sweets.
Although hunger can lead to diseases, Huangdi Neijing focuses more on the influence of overeating on human health. At the same time, from the actual situation, diseases caused by insufficient food and nutrition are really rare, especially among urban residents. Most diseases caused by diet are caused by overeating, that is to say, most diseases are persistent.
What diseases are related to overeating?
Laziness and fatigue
Eating too much food will consume a lot of qi and blood in the gastrointestinal tract, but other tissues of the human body will be malnourished. Many people have the experience of being sleepy after meals, which is a manifestation of insufficient blood supply to the brain. Therefore, many obese and overeating people do not show energetic and energetic state, but show laziness, burnout and weakness. This is because human qi and blood gather in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time to digest food, while the supply of qi and blood in other parts of the human body is insufficient.
