tat day,our pediatric surgery Sir shared with us this: Why more and more people becoming obesed nowadays?
2 main factors : more fast food, less exercise
why fast food? what he shared is kinda informative:
1.) fast food...the name says it all, it is eaten 'fast', aka in rush. when we eat in rush, we tend to overeat. for eg. u are very hungry,u grabbed a burger and wallopped it. the signal from your stomach takes time to reach your brain to tell u that u r full; and u still think that u are hungry and eat more, by the time the signal reaches your brain telling that u r full, u have already taken in 2 burgers, 1 french fries & 1 apple pie. then only u sit back and feel satisfied and full ----> by now, u hav actually over-eaten!!!
2.)fast food + soft drinks = perfect. soft drinks = cold. what does this equation tell us? when we drink cold water while/after we eat, it actually decreases the optimum temperature in our stomach which is needed for the digestive enzymes to function properly. There will be improper digestion and fast passing of food into the duodenum (ie. emptying of the stomach). In short, we feel hungry again in a short time!
In conclusion, you eat fast food and tend to always overeat, and get hungry fast, and you will eat fast food again, and overeat, and get hungry fast again and overeat and......
it is a viscious cycle.
exercise! let's have a jog :)
