Eating Wang Yue has become more and more popular, but this special sport is still a cruel act of self-harm. Everyone will not feel strange about the emerging profession of "eating the king". They are frequent visitors to the headlines of major video websites and have many fans. Just click on the video and you can see them eating happily in front of the food. This seems to be the most enviable job in the world. The only task is to eat and drink with an open stomach and not get fat! However, do you know that there are many unknown hardships and dangers hidden under the glamorous appearance of the big stomach king? If you want to follow suit, please think twice. On May 25th, in the Big Stomach King Competition, Chongqing Big Stomach King Mi Zijun ate 40 Jin of crayfish (Wanjia Information). The big stomach king originated from the hot dog competition. Coney Island, new york, is the capital of the world. 19 16 On National Day, four immigrants held a hot dog competition in Coney Island to prove who was the most patriotic. Since then, it has been imitated many times and gradually became a local signature program. Since 1972, the "hot dog contest" has become a regular event of Coney Island's National Day every year. Of course, at first, this competition was just an interesting program with active atmosphere, and the level of players was limited. Until 200 1, a Japanese player named Kobayashi Takeru appeared in the air and swallowed 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, recording their stomachs for 30 years (25). In fact, they sacrificed their flexibility and peristalsis for bottomless capacity. Now, the important question comes: why is the stomach of the big stomach king so different? At present, the genetic factors are still unclear, but many big eaters, including the current world champion Chesnut, admit that they have spent many years "training" themselves, mainly by forcing themselves to swallow a lot of food quickly, and gradually overcome the discomfort and vomiting reflex caused by satiety. Chesnut said that he had been abusing his stomach like this since 13 years old, until he could bear the severe pressure of competing for food. Why are people who eat and drink so thin? Whether it is a game or a live webcast, the excellent big eaters we can see often have healthy and even bodies. Eating so much is not fat. Are they really talented? First of all, thanks to the loss of "elasticity" of the stomach. The main function of the stomach is to grind and mix food evenly and process it into soft chyle for further digestion and absorption. Due to the lack of exercise function of the stomach, it is difficult for the food swallowed by the big stomach king to be completely digested and absorbed in the intestine. Kinoshita Yuuka, the Japanese king with a big stomach, once revealed that he would "shit a lot" every time he went to the toilet after eating a big meal, which may be one of the main reasons why the king with a big stomach kept slim. Prepare to eat a few pots of curry rice (Youtube). In addition, in addition to the contact lens, the big stomach kings have also made great efforts to keep fit. Chesnut once said that he would stop eating within a few days after the game, so that his swollen stomach would slowly disappear. No one wants to get fat, especially those who eat too much: the obese figure will lead to the thickening of the abdominal wall, the increase of abdominal pressure and the increase of visceral fat, which will have a devastating impact on their competition results. In order to reduce calorie intake, many big eaters only eat in front of the camera. They need extraordinary self-discipline and willpower to avoid being overweight in the fierce competition. In addition to diet control, exercise is also essential. South Korea's eating and broadcasting popular line "Mercedes-Benz Brother" is a fitness instructor. He claims that he spends eight hours in the gym every day except eating and sleeping. A similar clue can be seen from Kobayashi Takeru, the ancestor of the Big Stomach King: before the game, his stomach was covered with pieces of abdominal muscles. After the game, his stomach bulged, but he could still see the outline of his abdominal muscles. You can't exercise by sitting and eating. The crisis behind Kobayashi Takeru cuisine that shows abdominal muscles is far lower than that of athletes in other professions such as basketball and football. But this does not mean that eating games is a safe sport. Swallowing a large amount of food quickly may lead to esophageal tear, gastric perforation and suffocation, which are all fatal. Just two months ago, on April 2nd, a 20-year-old female student choked to death in a pancake eating contest held in sacred heart university, USA. 20 12 a 36-year-old man in Canada suffocated during a food competition, resulting in cerebral hypoxia and total paralysis (sun). Therefore, the American Association of Dietetic Kings clearly stipulates the safety regulations of food competitions: minors are absolutely not allowed to participate, and professional doctors should be present to monitor the whole process to ensure that the contestants do what they can. In addition, in order to reduce accidents and strictly control the competition time, the competition time has been shortened from 12 minutes to 10 minutes in recent years. A warning will be issued before each competition, asking the audience not to imitate casually and not to train themselves without authorization. However, the risks that big eaters need to take are not just lurking in the game. At present, all we know is young people, and scientists have not studied the long-term health effects of competitive diet. What will happen to these young and potbellied kings when they get old? It is very likely that they will lose their willpower and face the threat of morbid obesity. What is even more worrying is their flabby stomachs which have been inflated for a long time. They may have sequelae of intractable hiccups and nausea, and may need partial or total gastrectomy to control these symptoms. Although eating games and eating Wang Yue is becoming more and more popular, this special sport is still a cruel act of self-harm. As an ordinary person, you must not imitate at will!
