Why can't I eat?

It is quite common in life to be unable to eat, which is also called poor appetite. If you cannot eat for a long time, it will often lead to a decrease in nutrition, which has a great impact on your health. There are many reasons for not being able to eat, including psychological and emotional reasons, as well as some bad habits. Of course, we should also pay attention to poor appetite caused by some diseases. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Why can't I eat?

1. Emotional tension and excessive fatigue:

In today's fast-paced and competitive society, people are prone to insomnia, anxiety and other nervous emotions, which lead to dysfunction of gastric endocrine acid and cause loss of appetite.

2. Excessive physical or mental labor:

It will cause insufficient blood supply to the stomach wall and insufficient gastric secretion, which will weaken the stomach's digestive function.

3. Excessive drinking and smoking:

Alcohol can damage the taste buds on the tongue that are responsible for taste, and can also directly damage the gastric mucosa. If you suffer from ulcers or chronic gastritis, excessive drinking will aggravate your condition and even cause perforation of the stomach and duodenum. The harm of smoke to the gastric mucosa is no less than that of drinking, and smoking can also cause chronic gastritis.

If the stomach is often in a hungry state, it will cause damage to the gastric mucosa over time.

5. Overeating causes excessive expansion of the stomach: Food stays in the stomach for too long, which may cause mucosal damage at the very least and gastric perforation at the worst.

6. Raw and cold food:

Eating raw and cold food frequently, especially before going to bed, can easily lead to stomach cold, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

Eating too much at dinner will inevitably increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, disrupt gastric juice secretion, and easily lead to a loss of appetite. In addition, it can also lead to obesity, restless sleep, stones, diabetes, etc.

8. Exercise after eating:

Vigorous exercise within a short period of time after a full meal will cause gastric motility to increase, followed by gastric cramps, long-term stomach pain and discomfort, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and may even cause gastric torsion.
