Many people believe that being full means being healthy. But, did you know that overeating can also "hurt" your heart? Excessive consumption of food, especially high-protein and high-fat foods that are challenging to digest, can cause abdominal discomfort and bloating. This discomfort elevates the diaphragm, restricting the normal contraction and relaxation of the heart, thereby increasing the burden on the heart. During food digestion, blood is concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract, making coronary artery blood supply insufficient, which can lead to angina, arrhythmias, and, in severe cases, acute myocardial infarction, endangering life.
