Nutritionist explained the dangers of snacking on the go

Eating on the run does not give a feeling of fullness and can negatively affect the functioning of the stomach. Nutritionist Irina Pisareva told about this on Friday, November 7.

"Large chunks, poorly chewed on the run, enter the stomach and make it work with a vengeance. This can lead to heaviness, discomfort, bloating, flatulence and heartburn," she said in an interview with RT.

According to the doctor, this type of diet can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, as constant haste and stress are one of the triggers of this condition.

"It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive satiety signals from the stomach. If you eat quickly, this signal does not arrive in time, which can lead to overeating. A person eats a portion and can supplement it with something else. As a result, there are more calories than the body needs," she warned.

The nutritionist added that they often eat fast food, pastries, as well as sweet and coffee drinks on the run.

"These are empty calories with lots of sugar. A person gets an energy shock, which soon generates a craving for sweets again," concluded Pisareva.
