It takes 3 days for the stomach to digest a big burger, the body goes through many ups and downs.

Who is not fond of fast food? Pizza, burgers, chicken wings, French fries – your mouth might be watering just reading this. Fast food is delicious to eat, it is also very easy to eat. But do you know that it takes up to three days to get digested in the stomach.

What does research say?
Some time ago a website ‘Fast Food Price’ made a timeline. In this there is mention of the famous and most loved Big Burger of a multinational burger company. This website has told what chemical reactions take place in your body for 1 hour after eating a big burger.

The website told how blood sugar, enzymes and hormones rise and fall in the body from 10 minutes to 1 hour after eating a Big Burger.

First 10 minutes: mind becomes happy-happy
Our brain is satisfied only by eating high calorie food. This is the gift of our ancestors. In fact, during the time of primitive humans, when there was a shortage of food, our ancestors had to eat high-calorie food to keep their stomachs full. That is why after eating ‘Big Mac’ which is filled with about 540 calories, our mind becomes happy for the first 10 minutes.

The reason behind this is the ‘feel good’ chemicals released by the brain like dopamine neurotransmitters. That is why we feel a feeling of satisfaction and happiness for the first 10 minutes of eating a burger. Many scientists believe that these ‘feel good’ chemicals have a similar effect to drugs like cocaine and tempt us to eat these high-calorie fast foods again and again.

After 20-30 minutes: Sodium attack in the body
Now the effect of the ‘feel good’ chemical starts to wear off. This is where the disadvantages of fast food start affecting. Burger buns contain large amounts of fructose corn syrup and sodium. For this reason, within 20 minutes of eating one burger, one starts feeling the urge to eat another burger. The bun contains 970 mg sodium. Sodium has a habit of absorbing a lot of water.

These are the disadvantages of eating burgers
970 mg sodium starts absorbing water from adjacent cells. Due to this, a situation of dehydration arises in the body. This is why our heart has to work faster. Body temperature and blood pressure increase rapidly and we start craving to drink something sweet.

40 minutes later: Hunger, hunger, hunger!
Now the hunger centers of your brain become active again. This is because your brain has lost control over the increased blood sugar in the body. This is why your body now starts desiring to eat more high-calorie food. After eating high-calorie food, insulin increases rapidly and reduces glucose in your blood. Because of this you feel hungry even after meals.

Due to the large amount of high-fructose corn syrup present in many burgers, we feel like eating more of them.

After 60 minutes: digestion slowed down
After eating food, it takes about 24 to 72 hours to digest it. But after eating a ‘big burger’ it takes more than 3 days to digest it. Actually burgers contain trans-fat. The body may take up to 51 days to digest trans-fat. It is responsible for increasing obesity, heart diseases and diseases like cancer.

So next time whenever you are eating a burger, remember that your body will go through many ups and downs in the next hour. That’s why don’t make it a daily habit. It will be better for health if you eat occasionally.
