Health Risks Of Overeating
Though eating is a basic necessity, overeating may kill you according to a new research. Eating can affect the lifespan according to a study. Maybe this is why low calorie diets seem to expand lifespan.
All foods, when consumed, cause oxidative damage which may further affect the DNA and cause harm to the cells in your body. In fact, scientists also believe that this kind of damage can speed up the ageing process.

In order to obtain a clear picture, researchers studied certain animals which ate food in irregular intervals. They could see the difference in the levels of reactive oxygen molecules in circulation before and after a meal.
Researchers studied the blood samples of a snake that survives eating a mouse every fortnight. They collected samples of blood, one during digestion and another after absorption. The samples clearly showed an increase in oxidative damage by nearly 180% during the process of digestion.
