Do the intestines expand as a person gets more obese?
The answer is Yes.
Explanations:
When a person becomes obese, the fat cells in their body increase in size and number. This increase in fat tissue can put pressure on the intestines, causing them to expand. Additionally, the increased demand for nutrients by the body can lead to an increase in the amount of food consumed, which can also contribute to the expansion of the intestines.
