But, there is this, but right here, sometimes drinking water can do exactly the opposite.
I found out that it’s not recommended for you to drink water right before, during, or shortly after your delicious meal.
Why?
I’m glad you asked.Drinking water like this will slow down the digestion of the food. The reason is diluting the gastric juice found in your stomach.
By doing this, the juice doesn’t have the same power to break down the food you eat.
Imagine what happens when you eat something that is high in fat, high in carbs, and you drink water on top of it.
Your stomach turns into the base for weight loss and possible health issues.
Many doctors and nutritionists will tell you that you need to drink water at least half an hour before your meals. That’s how you’ll reduce the water intake during meals.
On the other hand, drinking water shortly after you finished with your meal, it affects the quality of the food and digestive system.
It’s not important what kind of food you eat. The water will play the role of a “coolant” that results in weight gain.
Okay, when should we drink water?
You all need to drink water at least half an hour before and after having a meal. It’s the perfect way for giving your digestive system the opportunity to satisfy the thirst.After that, you can drink as much water as you like until the next meal.
That’s how drinking water can weaken your digestive system. Doing anything in your power to protect it is crucial for your overall health.
