Should you eat until you're sick of it?
We all have different needs. If you have too much to eat, adapt the quantities to your appetite. Nevertheless, it's essential to eat enough to ensure good nutritional status, maintain a healthy weight, avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies, guarantee optimal physical and intellectual performance and prevent the onset of chronic diseases. If your lack of appetite is recurrent, try to limit snacking and engage in regular physical activity. If the problem persists, you may need to consult a doctor.
