Research Notes on Overeating Impacts Brain and Metabolism
A recent study shows that overeating causes the brain to go haywire, creating a cycle where there is a desire to continue eating. Overeating also causes damage to the body which paves the way for conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Inflammation in a certain area of the brain can control the hypothalamus, which in turn contributes to the sensation of a full stomach.
