Why Is It When I Binge (mostly Junk Carbs) Eat

JUNK FOOD HANGOVER
Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor "Service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
Junk food hangover is a well known and clinically proven entity.
Complex carbs and fats found in junk food take a long time to digest thus making us feel crappy,sluggish and lethargic.
The added salts in junk draw excess water into the gastrointestinal tract from the body,causing dehydration and sometimes headache and clouding.
The digestion of load of junk needs the diversion of blood supply towards gut.
This is done at the expense of supply of brain and other vital organs.
The sugars and carbs will increase blood sugar levels,making us jittery and sloppy.
fatty foods and starchy carbs alter the gut bacteria in your, which causes bloating and flatulence.
Always take junk food in moderation.
Don't skip breakfast,next morning.
Take light,easily digestible,fiber rich diet.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Avoid sugary and carbonated drinks.
Keep yourself well hydrated.
Indulge in moderate exercise which helps gut to move and boosts the basal metabolism.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay blessed and stay healthy.
Regards.
