Overeating
By now, it must be clear that indigestion is the common trigger for the stomach to bloat. When one overeats, taking in more calories than usual, there is no other choice for the fist-sized stomach than to swell. The result is feeling stuffed, which can be uncomfortable, and consistently having that feeling after meals is a sure sign of overeating.
The digestive system is programmed to deal with food one way. When the body feeds it another way, it may refuse and resist the process, causing digestive distress. Overeating requires the stomach to work harder than usual, leaving it confused, and instead of digesting food properly, it will convert it to gas. Such gas can be painful to pass through, making the belly feel tight and fuzzy.
Food may be life’s greatest comfort, but consuming too much at a time may cause bloating issues and other health problems. Depending on what type of foods is ingested, there could be an increased risk for life-threatening conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart attack, liver disease, and kidney failure. So think twice, anytime the euphoric feeling of a sumptuous meal comes to mind.
