The problem of overeating is quite serious and affects many people, because consuming large amounts of quickly digested carbohydrates can lead to weight gain and obesity. And these conditions significantly increase the risk of various diseases.
Overeating causes the stomach to expand to adapt to a large amount of food and begins to put pressure on other organs, which causes a feeling of discomfort.
A large amount of food in the stomach causes the human organs to work more intensively. Additional hormones and enzymes are released. To break down food, the stomach releases hydrochloric acid. Due to overeating, it can return to the esophagus and cause heartburn.
A related event is the World Day against eating disorders, which aims to provide medical and psychological support to people suffering from bulimia, anorexia, and overeating attacks.
In developed countries, anorexia is diagnosed in 4% and bulimia in 2% of the population at a particular time, while psychogenic overeating affects 2% of women.
Also Today, events are being held on the occasion of World pest control day.

The second of June is the International Day of prostitutes. It was on this day in 1975 in the French city of Lyon that about 100 local sex workers occupied the Church of Saint-Nizier.

On June 10, police cleared the Church of protesters, sparking a national movement in France in support of all female sex workers, which later spread around the world.
In Ukraine, local industry workers, land reclamation workers and water management workers celebrate their professional holidays today.
