Effects of too much Food!

If more food is taken than can be properly digested, the digestive organs are overworked, and
undigested food is passed along the intestines to be got rid of. This material sets up irritation, which gives rise to diarrhoea, and this may be followed by constipation. A certain amount of decomposition of the undigested matter may take place, gaseous products being formed which give rise to a large amount of discomfort. Continued effects of this kind impair the digestive powers, and indigestion, dyspepsia, and other similar troubles are caused.
