Impact of Drinking Water During Meals
The news discusses the results of a recent study indicating that drinking water during meals may be associated with an increase in the amount of food a person consumes, rather than helping to induce a feeling of fullness as commonly believed. The study explained that water temporarily fills the stomach but empties quickly, thereby limiting its effect on satiety compared to protein- and fiber-rich foods. It also emphasized the importance of maintaining proper hydration, advising against refraining from drinking water during meals—especially for those who are thirsty. The study pointed out that drinking water before meals can help older adults reduce their food intake and support weight management efforts.
