What’s the science behind this?
In: Biology
When you don’t get enough protein in your diet you get an osmotic imbalance in the the gastro-intestinal system. Where there’s an osmotic imbalance there’s going to be water either flowing towards it or flowing away from it. In the case of malnutrition the water flows towards the gastro-intestinal system which causes a build up in the abdomen and the distended stomach.
