The appearance of excess weight can be associated with eating disorders, and a simple way to avoid the problem is to drink a certain amount of fluid, says an expert.

A doctor who treats eating disorders said in an interview that in some cases, excess weight is caused by “subcortical appetite”, in which a person has a reduced sensitivity to thirst. When such a person’s body needs fluid, he feels not thirst, but hunger, an increased appetite.

“Overweight people with an eating disorder may have a desire to eat something instead of a desire to drink water. When a person starts to satisfy hunger instead of quenching thirst, he can gain even more extra pounds,” the doctor noted.

According to the specialist, there is a simple way to avoid gaining excess weight due to this problem. To this end, the expert recommended consuming a certain amount of fluid daily. He emphasized that water prevents the development of subcortical appetite, which is activated instead of a feeling of thirst.

Expert advice: you should drink fluid daily, based on the calculation of 30 mg per kilogram of human weight.

“This will help avoid excessive cravings for food and weight gain,” the specialist postulated.
