In the mouths of many people who are keen to lose weight, if you go on a diet step by step and hungry yourself, your stomach will gradually become smaller. Indeed, many people will find that if you eat more, you will feel that your appetite will gradually become larger. If you eat a few fewer meals, your appetite seems to decrease.
Does the stomach really get bigger and hungry?
Our stomach is an organ composed of multiple layers of muscle that stores and digests food. Its outer muscle has strong flexibility , which can be expanded according to our different food intake To a certain storage and digestion space, however, its capacity limit is fixed.
Under normal circumstances, when a person is completely fasted, the stomach has about 100 ml; after a normal full meal, it can reach 1200 to 1600 ml. Based on these two values, it is not difficult to find that the stomach capacity of a person in a saturated fasting state can differ by 12-16 times. Then why would someone feel that their stomach becomes larger or smaller after eating a lot and hungry for a few meals? Most of it is caused by my own psychology. It can also be understood as one's own illusion.
Is the big stomach king really different from ordinary people?
Speaking of which,Many people may have such questions. If the stomach capacity is limited, are the big stomach kings we have seen as the "children of heaven"?
What I want to mention here is the limit value of the stomach. What we said above is only the maximum value of the stomach, but it has not reached the limit. In fact, the "limit volume" of the stomach is more than 3000 milliliters. Those who eat a lot of big stomach kings can support their stomachs to about 2400~3200ml, which is basically close to the limit value of the stomach, so their stomachs are actually no different from our ordinary people's stomachs.
On the contrary, frequent eating and congestion like this will cause many adverse effects on the stomach: when our stomach wall is repeatedly stretched to the extreme, it will become loose and reduce the peristaltic motility of the stomach and affect normal digestion. Function, and the stomach has been stretched huge for a long time, and the muscles of the stomach wall have become thinner, just like a balloon that has been blown so large, it will soon be in a very dangerous state.
Finally, if the stomach is stretched to a huge size, the stomach will press up on , diaphragm, and even the heart and lungs. Not good for health.
For long-term dieting, there is not enough food in the stomach. Gastric acid Digestion, gastric acid corrodes the gastric mucosa, and can cause stomach damage in the long term.
How can we protect our stomach?
1. Avoid eating too much
Avoid overeating while eating,Generally, you can stop eating when you feel full, and those with poor digestive function should eat less and more meals. If we overeating or overeating for a long time, our stomach muscles will be stretched thin and its elasticity will decrease, which may lead to weakened gastric motility, gastroptosis , stomach weakness, etc.
2. Avoid irregular eating
Like other organs, the stomach has its own normal "work and rest time". Regular diet can keep our secretion stable and the body in a balanced state, which is more conducive to digestion and absorption.
3. Don’t be hungry for a long time
For those who have been dieting for a long time and are accustomed to staying hungry, if they eat too little, the glands that secrete gastric acid will not work properly for a long time. Atrophy of the glands will occur.
