Doctor Mikhail Ginzburg warned of the risk of cardiovascular disaster due to overeating.

Dietitian Ginsburg said that a large amount of food consumed at one time is a threat to the heart, since in this situation its load increases significantly. According to the doctor, in the presence of ischemia, circulatory problems or coronary syndrome, such food abuse can provoke a sharp deterioration in well-being.

In particular, the consequence of a large amount of food at one time can be breathing problems and shortness of breath. At the same time, the heart rate increases and blood pressure rises – if a person has problems, such changes in the body’s functioning can result in a cardiovascular disaster.

“You can overeat so much that a heart attack develops,” Mikhail Ginzburg told Moscow 24 “.

If a person tends to frequently eat food in large quantities, he is likely to be overweight, and at the same time be susceptible to diseases associated with obesity, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, gout.
