Abstract in brief

  • Drinking water before a meal can significantly lower energy intake in overweight and obese older adults, as shown by a study measuring meal consumption with and without a 500-mL water preload.
  • The study involved 24 participants, averaging 61 years old, and found that those who drank water consumed about 13% less food compared to those who did not.
  • This reduction in calorie intake was consistent regardless of factors like sex, age, body mass index, or usual water consumption, indicating potential for premeal water consumption as a weight management strategy for older adults.

drinking water can help you curb the urge to overeat. As per research titled Water consumption reduces energy intake at a breakfast meal in obese older adults, “Water consumed before a meal has been found to reduce energy intake among non-obese older adults.”
