Coping with the Holidays Part 3 - Overeating
Last but not least in our 3 part series Coping with the Holidays is Overeating. The act of overeating unfortunately seems to be a holiday past time but it may actually be the worst of all indiscretions.
Overeating takes an unprecedented toll on the GI tract and liver and contributes to the same harmful reactions which alcohol and sugar have on the body. The liver processes everything that goes into the digestive tract and excessive food is particularly taxing. When you combine this with alcohol and sugar it’s a recipe for serious harm to your health. Even if you don’t consume alcohol and sugar, overeating is still very tough on the body.
