The study found that a greater change in feeling in the gut upon drinking the water pointed to a significantly greater sense of the body's physiological responses, and a greater appreciation for the body itself, in both the countries. "Individuals who are less in tune with internal stimuli, such as feeling full, could be more at risk of developing negative body image due to an over-reliance on external, appearance-related characteristics like size and shape," Todd added. "It is possible that body image can be promoted by encouraging people to be more aware of internal sensations..." she said.
