Water Depravation. Water Deprivation and Eating. A recent study indicates that without water, the body’s physiology causes a person to involuntarily reduce what he or she eats.
One way water deprivation does this is by causing dry mouth, making eating more difficult. But evidence indicates too that there are receptors in the gastrointestinal tract that can detect the water level there; when water in the gut is low, the receptors respond by terminating eating earlier than normal. Once the water returns to a normal level, a body will resume eating as normal. National Geographic Search.
