Competitive eaters face serious health risks involving the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small intestine due to rapid consumption of large quantities of food. Issues such as choking, esophageal damage, dumping syndrome, and bacterial overgrowth in the intestines can occur. Long-term effects may include permanently stretched stomachs, gastroparesis, heart disease, and diabetes. While some professional eaters stay healthy by balancing their diet and exercise outside of competitions, there are concerns about the potential impact on overall health and aging in the future.
