We attach too much importance to the well-being of the body - hence the misery.
This world has no permanent happiness for us.
We eat, we drink - in the end the food eats us.
Excessive enjoyment through the senses will result in the senses enjoying us!
We will become incapable of enjoying -- satiated. It is easily apparent that those who over eat get bad livers, stomachs, etc.
The ancient Rishis related that the food angel went to Lord Vishnu with the complaint that people were eating him mercilessly.
Lord Vishnu solved his problem by advising, "Those who eat you unnecessarily -- you eat them!"
So, indulging in excess, loses its power of enjoyment.
