You’re more likely to eat in times of stress, or if you’re in a bad mood, tired, bored or sad. Eating causes your brain to release endorphins, which are feel-good hormones. So, eating feels good for a lot of people. It’s something we can do when we feel overwhelmed or burnt out. When we eat because it feels good, and not necessarily because we’re hungry, we’re more likely to overeat. Overeating is eating past the point of fullness. But while you’re eating, it can be hard to tell when to stop, especially if you eat quickly or are busy with other things. When you overeat, you may feel: Acid reflux. Bloating. Gas. Heartburn. Nausea. Stomach pain. Tired and sluggish. You may also have these symptoms for other reasons, not just overeating. If these symptoms last more than a day or so, they may not be related to overeating. If they get worse or last for a week, contact a healthcare provider.If you overeat, feeling shame or blaming yourself won’t help you feel better. Remember that overeating is common. You might feel bad for a few hours and it’s important to be kind to yourself while your digestive system works. There are some things you can do to help your body digest your meal and get you back on track. For example: Take a walk. Getting moderate exercise can help reduce gas and regulate your blood sugar. Stay hydrated. Your digestive system will need more water to process the extra load. Herbal teas, like peppermint, chamomile and ginger can help with digestion and reduce gas. #digestion #food #guthealth #digestivehealth #healthcare #health #food #healthyliving #skincare #acne #acnetreatment #inflammation #gut #guts #foryou #foryourpage #for #you #fyp - @dr.mehss
