It is physically impossible to "expand" your stomach in order to eat more.
However, you can starve for a day before Thanksgiving, so that during Thanksgiving you will be extremely hungry.
Yes ! The allies fed grapes to surviving Jews during WWII to expand their stomachs so they could eat more!
Overeating would cause it to expand more than it normally does. The stomach is a muscular pouch that has folds in it called rugae. It can be as small as a fist or as large as a gallon (4 liters).
The ridges are called rugae. They provide the stomach with more surface area for food. When food enters the stomach, these wrinkles expand and become stretched out. The purpose is to allow it to expand. This therefore allows expansion in volume of the pig.
The stomach can expand upto three times the size that it is when empty. The abdomen (i.e the belly/waist/tummy - collectively, everything below the line of the ribcage) can expand far more than the stomach can, due to weight gain etc...
Well of course it does, the carbonated water in the soda will warm even more in your stomach and expand more which makes you burp more.
try to fill it up to its max many times and try to eat more than you did the time before.
Macy's initially started the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade for advertising and encouraging people to be in a good mood prior to becoming shoppers during the Christmas season.
The volume of the human stomach varies depending on the person. Generally, human stomachs have a volume about one liter, which is a little more than one quart. Since the stomach has the ability to expand, it can hold much more food.
These ridges are fat and they allow the stomach to expand. This allows the stomach to store more food while digesting.
No, the stomach and intestines get LESS blood during exercise. The blood is needed in the muscles being used and is shunted there instead of digestive organs
Yes, your stomach does move when you breathe, especially during deep or diaphragmatic breathing. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, causing the abdominal area to expand as the lungs fill with air. This movement is more pronounced in some individuals and is a normal part of the breathing process. However, shallow breathing primarily involves the chest, with less noticeable movement in the abdomen.
The ribs expand during inhalation. This creates negative pressure on the lungs and draws air into them. During exhalation the rib cage gets smaller, compressing the lungs, in a sense, and forcing air out.
