研究:时常保持两分饥饿,寿命可延长30%
据《生命时报》报道,澳大利亚科学家的一项研究表明:如果人类时常保持两分饥饿,其寿命可最多增长30%。报道说,在年轻时经常吃撑,危害甚至会影响两代人的健康。哪怕是短期暴饮暴食,不仅体重会上升,对全身的伤害也会持续多年。 Photo by Horizon Content from Pexels Why do we eat so much? One reason is buffet lunches – they need no explanation. Business dinners that last for hours also encourage people to eat too much. Dinner parties with friends are also culprits, as being in a good mood gives you an appetite. Eating too quickly because you are busy can also be a problem. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive a warning of overeating, so wolfing lunch in 10 minutes is not a good idea. Finally, skipping meals due to work pressure can lead to binge-eating in the evening. What wrong about overeating? “Taking in half the food that your stomach can contain is enough for you to survive. Eating too much places a burden on your organs and causes many health problems,” heath education expert Hong Shaoguang said. Health risks: Obesity: Countless scientific studies have proved that obesity causes heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other complications. Gastropathy: Overeating can cause severe indigestion even damage the gastrointestinal tract. Fatigue: Overeating slows brain reactions and accelerates the brain’s aging process. Cancer: Japanese scientists have found that overeating can switch off a gene that combats cancer. Dementia: Japanese experts have found that 30 to 40 percent of senile dementia patients overate when they were younger. Osteoporosis: Regular overeating decalcifies bones and increases the risk of Osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). |
