November 13 (Wednesday): 4 Unexpected Effects of Eating Too Much

I tend to eat lightly, but my husband is the problem.

Why do I eat so bitterly...

I think we should really change the habit of eating salty food, even for true health.

Swelling = Eating salty food causes your face to swell. Hands, feet, and ankles can also easily swell. You say you haven't eaten anything particularly salty? It's not just soups and stews served at restaurants that contain a lot of salt. Sandwiches, pizzas, and even bagels contain more salt than you might think.

💥소화가 잘 안 된다=나트륨 섭취가 과하면 위에도 무리가 간다. 뱃속이 더부룩하고 경련이 올 수 있다. 구역질이 나거나 설사를 할 수도 있다. 식단에서 소금을 줄일 방법을 찾을 것. 당장 속을 가라앉히는 데에는 물을 많이 마시는 게 도움이 된다.

💥Blood pressure rises=Eating a lot of salt makes it difficult for the kidneys to excrete waste products. When the sodium level in the blood increases, the brain issues a command to reabsorb water that should be excreted in the urine. As a result, the amount of urine decreases and the blood volume increases. The pressure exerted on the vessel walls increases, and consequently, the force with which the heart pumps, that is, blood pressure, also rises.

💥Having trouble sleeping = Salty foods interfere with restful sleep. Symptoms vary. You may find it hard to fall asleep easily, wake up frequently during the night, or feel heavy in body and head despite sleeping long hours in the morning. If you are repeatedly restless without any apparent reason, it’s a good idea to review your eating habits and consider whether you are consuming too much salt.
