Why can people last longer without food than they can without water? Food has water in it. Does this not factor in to survival?
In: Biology
Water is needed for most of your body processes. Getting dehydrated (depleting water in the body) will shut down those processes and ultimately lead to death.
As for food I think it is more of like a storage of energy and if you run out of food your body still has body fat/muscles to get energy from.
