Overeating, from a medical point of view, is an eating disorder that manifests itself in uncontrolled consumption of food.

To overcome this habit, which, as is clear and without explanation, brings only harm to the body, it is worth finding out what exactly makes a person eat a lot.

Stress

Chronic stress activates the body's defense mechanism - there is one in any unforeseen situation.

Lack of sleep

Due to disruptions in the regime (by the way, not only lack of sleep, but also excessive sleep), we begin to feel hungry, since the body's internal biorhythms become desynchronized and the brain requires more calories.

Lack of positive emotions

If a person does not have a hobby or other sources of joy, the body sees a way out in alcohol and high-calorie food.

Endocrine disorders

A consequence of problems with the endocrine system is a chronic feeling of hunger.

Copying eating behavior

It is difficult to eat right and not overeat if there is a "bad example" in front of you. By the way, this category also includes eating for company.
