Commentary
If one feels a genuine need for eating but does not eat, he runs the risk of generating heat in his stomach. Hunger soon starts draining away the natural juices of the body as well as diminishing the appetite, which leads to the weakening of the body and, as a rule, a weak person ages faster. This is a medical truism mistaken for a Hadīth.
