Dr. Zhu Gang
Overeating may lead to indigestion and can trigger gastritis or gastric ulcers. Additionally, overeating can cause obesity. Binge eating poses many health risks, so patients should correct unhealthy eating habits. It is recommended that patients avoid eating too much at once and instead adopt a pattern of eating small meals frequently. Increasing physical exercise can also aid digestion.
