  • When we are hungry we feel empty in our stomach. The walls of our stomach give us a feeling as if they get collapsed. Our stomach and intestine start making noises as if they are demanding food.

  • If we do not eat anything for two days, we will start feeling tired, drained out, angry and irritated. We would not be able to concentrate on any physical or mental activity. We may also fall ill.
  • It would be very difficult for me to stay without water for two days.

    The water we drink goes to food pipe and then to the stomach, in the same way as food moves in our body. Excess of water is expelled out of the body in the form of urine.
