Science Behind Water & Hunger: Why Drinking Water Curbs Appetite

• Drinking water fills the stomach, activating 'Stretch Receptors' that signal fullness to the brain, creating a sensation of 'Satiety'.
• The brain often confuses thirst and hunger signals; drinking water satisfies the body's need, stopping 'false' hunger.
• Water temporarily reduces 'Ghrelin', the hunger hormone, which signals the brain to eat, thus decreasing appetite.
• Drinking water 30 minutes before meals can aid weight loss by reducing food intake and temporarily boosting metabolism.
• Avoid excessive water during meals as it can dilute digestive juices, potentially slowing digestion.
