Abundant feasts during the New Year holidays are often accompanied by overeating.
Eating too much food can have adverse effects on your health.
Bariatric surgeon and Doctor of Medical Sciences Vladimir Samoilov spoke about this in an interview with Lenta.ru .
According to the doctor, overeating during the New Year holidays can cause hormonal imbalance.
Eating a large amount of food triggers the hormone ghrelin to signal a constant feeling of hunger.
A person who consumes a large number of calories receives more than he spends, which leads to excess weight gain.
Samoilov also said that after a period of overeating it is difficult to return to the usual regime.
If you gain extra pounds, you will have to reconsider your diet and add physical activity.
The doctor also added that being overweight, if not properly controlled, can lead to obesity.
