Study: People who are aware of internal bodily sensations appreciate their body more
A new study led by one Jennifer Todd of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) has found a link with body positivity: gastric interoception, which refers to the processing of sensory stimuli originating in the gut, otherwise known as 'gut feeling'. Published in the journal Body Image, the research carried out experiments on some 191 adults in the UK as well as in Malaysia, so as to have 'culturally different national groups' and to increase reliability.
The subjects had to complete a two-stage water load task, which involves fasting and then consuming water, to ascertain body positivity. The quantity of water consumed as per stomach capacity, as well as feelings and experiences related to the task were measured. The latter included answering questionnaires that examined difference aspects of body image such as appreciation of the body and its functionality.
"Our study shows a clear link between bodily awareness, in this case, the feeling of fullness, and body image. In other words, people who are more in tune with their body's internal workings have a greater appreciation of their body in general," Todd was quoted as saying.
