What's the harm of eat areca?

We know that people in some areas like chewing betel nut very much, especially in Guangxi, Hainan and Hunan, which has become a habit. Because it contains some anesthetic-like ingredients, it will make people feel addicted. But if you chew a little, you will still bring saliva to your mouth, and the cold feeling will make you feel very comfortable, so many people like to eat it. But the World Health Organization also lists it as a first-class carcinogen, so try to eat as little as possible. So what harm does it have? Let's talk about it below.

The harm of betel nut

First of all, it will have some adverse effects on the oral cavity, and it is easy to get oral diseases. Because in the process of chewing betel nut, the oral mucosa will be stimulated by rough betel nut fiber, which will not only lead to taste dysfunction, but also easily cause oral numbness, so frequent stimulation will cause oral ulcers. If oral ulcers occur all the year round, cancer may occur.

Furthermore, it will have an impact on teeth, such as periodontitis or dental calculus. We know that chewing betel nut will produce some betel nut juice, which will enter the gap of teeth with lime, so it will cause dental calculus over time, which is also the main cause of periodontitis. In addition, chewing rough things for a long time will also cause great harm to teeth.

In addition, chewing betel nut will also have a certain impact on the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the digestion and absorption function. Because when we are in eat areca, we will feel anesthetized, so it will have an impact on the taste, which will lead to problems in saliva secretion. The juice produced by betel nut will stimulate the stomach and cause problems in the stomach, such as gastritis and gastric ulcer. This will also affect the digestion and absorption of normal eating. In the long run, there will be emaciation and malnutrition.

Chewing betel nut for a long time has other similar changes on the face, which may lead to food poisoning and affect some functions of the body. It is recommended to eat less.
