When there are problems with the bite, the process of food absorption is disrupted, which leads to various problems, including excess weight, said orthodontist of the scientific and clinical center EUROKAPPA Clinic, candidate of medical sciences Polina Makhortova. She revealed the hidden reason for weight gain to Lenta.ru.
According to the doctor, proper chewing of food plays a key role in normal metabolism and digestion. She explained that with a healthy bite, teeth effectively grind food, which facilitates its further processing in the stomach and intestines. Bite pathologies can disrupt this process, which can provoke problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
In addition, as Makhortova noted, people with malocclusions often eat very quickly, which is why they do not have time to feel full in time, which results in overeating.
When teeth do not close properly, the load on the jaw is distributed unevenly, which causes discomfort when chewing, which forces a person to rush while eating, which increases the amount of food consumed. This contributes to excess weight gain

Earlier, dentist and implant surgeon Magomed Dakhkilgov said that changes in the appearance of the tongue may indicate illness. According to him, dehydration causes the tongue to become white, while hypothyroidism or allergies cause it to become swollen.
