Gastric acidity, nutritional hydration and appetite

  • Frederick Hoelzel
Article

Summary

Data secured during a period of undernutrition and of re-alimentation revealed a relation between the fasting gastric acidity and the degree of general hydration. Such a relation also explains changes in gastric acidity which were found to occur in connection with short fasts, prolonged fasts and variations in the protein intake. A relation between gastric acidity and hydration likewise explains decreases in appetite and in food tolerance which were found to be produced by restricting the food intake too much or by too frequent fasting.
