Will dieting cause anorexia? Does dieting cause great harm to the stomach?

Most of us know that there are many ways to lose weight, among which dieting is very popular. However, some people worry that dieting will cause anorexia. So, will dieting cause anorexia? Does dieting cause great harm to the stomach?

Adopting an unhealthy dieting method can cause anorexia, because dieting is deliberate at the beginning, but it is easy to affect the normal function of the gastrointestinal tract, and then there will be a lack of hunger. Therefore, in this case, you should lose weight reasonably. Don't adopt dieting directly. You should adopt reasonable exercise methods. You can reasonably control your diet, but you must also ensure basic nutrition. Due to extreme lack of nutrition, you look old, your skin is dry, flaky and lacks elasticity, and your body hair is thick. Due to low metabolism, you have slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, low body temperature, and even edema. Female patients experience amenorrhea due to ovarian atrophy. These problems are mainly due to improper dieting. If this continues for a long time, it will eventually lead to systemic function decline and even death.

Dieting is very harmful to the stomach. The stomach is a sign of health for the human body. Long-term dieting is to artificially make the stomach move when it should be working, but it is doing nothing. Over time, the working capacity of the stomach will decrease. Once the stomach function is disordered, it can no longer withstand a little bit of tempering and challenge. The stomach that is idle for a long time has to endure the torture of being soaked in excess gastric acid. Because there is no food for it to digest, it will soon cause congestion, edema and erosion of the gastric mucosa, gastric ulcer or more serious symptoms. Our stomach is like a balloon. When it is completely empty, the stomach capacity is about 50-100 ml, and it can reach 1000-1500 ml after a full meal. Even if you are always hungry, the stomach capacity will only stay at the size of a completely empty stomach, and it will not shrink. If it really shrinks, it means you are sick. Normal people will not. On the contrary, after dieting, it will lead to the emptiness of the intestines, and there will be nothing to consume gastric acid. This will lead to atrophy of the gastric mucosa. If it is mild, peptic ulcers will occur, and if it is severe, it will lead to severe malnutrition and anorexia.

No. Many people think that the stomach can be starved to make it smaller, so they diet desperately when losing weight, but in fact this idea is wrong. The human stomach is very elastic, so dieting cannot make the stomach smaller at all. It is only by limiting calorie intake that the effect of weight loss can be achieved. Dieting to lose weight may disrupt gastrointestinal function and even cause stomach problems. The stomach is the basis of human health. The result of long-term dieting is that the stomach is artificially left idle when it should be moving and working. In the long run, the function of the stomach will decrease, the stomach function will be disordered, and it can no longer withstand a little bit of training and challenge. When we eat, the stomach will secrete a certain amount of gastric acid to digest these foods, but if you over-control the intake of food, the gastric acid will not be consumed, and the excess gastric acid will irritate the gastric mucosa, which may cause chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers and other problems. In addition, because of long-term dieting, the cells of the body are not nourished enough, which will also damage the brain and skin, causing symptoms such as memory loss and skin sagging. In addition, it may also cause endocrine disorders.

Losing weight can reduce insulin resistance. Insulin resistance refers to a certain amount of insulin that cannot play a corresponding biological role. Insulin is the only blood sugar-lowering hormone in the body. Under normal circumstances, the body regulates the dynamic balance of blood sugar through insulin and insulin antagonists. When insulin resistance is caused by genetics or obesity, the body will promote insulin secretion to avoid increased blood sugar, forming hyperinsulinemia. When the promoted secretion of insulin still cannot control blood sugar to normal, impaired glucose tolerance and even diabetes will occur. Therefore, obesity is an important cause of insulin resistance, and insulin resistance is one of the important causes of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, effective weight loss and maintaining an ideal weight can effectively improve insulin resistance and slow down the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes.
