Study finds water during meals impacts digestion
A recent study shows that drinking water during meals may increase the amount of food a person consumes. This is attributed to the fact that water enhances the flavor of the food and prolongs the sensation of enjoyment while eating, leading to an increase in calorie intake rather than promoting the feeling of fullness that is typically believed to prevent overeating. As a result, it has been concluded that drinking water during a meal does not help reduce the amount of food or calories consumed, and may even contribute to increased intake—especially when frequently drinking between bites. The study indicates that higher water consumption is associated with an additional approximately 50 calories for every 100 milliliters of water consumed, noting that water quickly leaks from the stomach and thus does not produce a feeling of satiety. Researchers are currently exploring the causal relationships more deeply, but current findings suggest that consuming water during eating can actually promote greater food intake rather than limit it.
