The doctors explained the exact cause of the content creator, Dongz Apatan’s untimely passing.
In a report by GMA Network, the family of the content creator admitted that they were aware that he already had high blood pressure, but they still didn’t stop him from doing his extreme eating habits.
They also insisted that Dongz was eating moderately and not always eating fatty foods.
However, a doctor contradicted the claims of the content creator, saying that the latter suffered from a severe consequence of high blood pressure.
“Nagkaroon siya ng blood clot sa brain, ibig sabihin tumaas ang blood pressure niya pumotok ‘yung ugat sa brain,” Cardiologist Doctor Tony Leachon said.
“Maalat syempre, pangalawa ‘yung pagkain ng karne everyday mo gagawin ‘yon so magbabara ang ugat mo sa brain, pwede ka rin magkaroon ng heart attack,” he added.
Dr. Leachon also said that the Mukbang content creators like Dongz were promoting bad eating habits and may also encourage other netizens to eat unmoderated.
“Lesson learn ito sa ating lahat, pag naging habit ito, your habits dictates your behavior and your behavior determines your destiny, ang pagkain talaga pag sobra hindi maganda lalo na kapag maalat, mataba at matamis,” he said.
Dongz suffered the same condition as veteran journalist Arnold Clavio, but the latter fortunately survived.
