OVEREATING

OVEREATING is to eat beyond your body's capacity to utilize (digest and assimilate) and it is very subjective. It cannot be said to be eating beyond what the body needs. This depends on the general condition of an individual. The body may need more than it is capable to make use of. A sick person, an exhausted person, an emotional, fearful, anxious or worrisome person, or a very athletic person for example, have completely different digestive capacities. A spoonful of food to a very sick person may be overeating. You cannot feed anyone solely based on calorie charts. This is nonsense and may be very detrimental to your health. Overeating may mean one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
