Too many "nutrients" accumulate in the body, and the consequence is obesity and a series of diseases of wealth. Obesity can bring cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, cholecystitis and so on. The resulting complications may reach hundreds.

2, stomach disease: human gastric mucosal epithelial cells have a short life span and need to be repaired every 2-3 days. If the last meal is undigested and the next meal fills the stomach, the stomach will always be full, and the gastric mucosa will be difficult to repair. The stomach secretes a lot of gastric juice, which will destroy the gastric mucosa and barrier, resulting in gastric inflammation and indigestion. In the long run, there may be diseases such as gastric erosion and gastric ulcer.

3, cancer: Japanese scientists pointed out that eating too much will reduce the ability to inhibit the activity of cell carcinogens and increase the risk of cancer.

When diarrhea occurs, the old people lose a lot of body fluids, the whole body blood circulation is reduced, the blood is concentrated and viscous, and the flow is slow, which leads to cerebral artery occlusion, cerebral blood flow interruption and cerebral infarction. Once the above adverse consequences occur, there is no need to panic. Those with severe symptoms should seek medical attention in time and handle them correctly.
