Health: Can we drink water while eating or not? Find out what the research says

[ad_1]

Health Tips: Many people have a habit of drinking water along with food. Some people cannot swallow food without water. A sip or two of water between meals does no harm. However, it is believed that it is not good to drink a lot of water between meals. Although water helps in digestion, drinking water while eating can have the opposite effect. Consuming liquids like water while eating is believed to adversely affect the digestive system. Due to this you may face many health related problems.

According to experts, one should drink a glass of water thirty minutes before and thirty minutes after eating food. During digestion, stomach acid helps break down the food we eat. But when you drink water with food, it dilutes the acid in your stomach. Experts believe that this adversely affects the digestive system and the food remains in contact with stomach acid and enzymes for a very short time. Let’s know about it in more detail-

Drinking water with food adversely affects digestion.

Drinking water with food is believed to adversely affect digestion. Drinking water while eating causes the food to break down properly and is not absorbed properly. However, in addition, several studies have found that drinking water during and after meals does not affect digestion.

There is acidity

Many people believe that drinking water while eating causes acidity problem. However, there is no concrete information about it yet. In such a situation, it is very difficult to find out whether drinking water while eating causes the problem of acidity or not.

Increases weight

Another common misconception about water is that it has a bad effect on stomach fluids and can cause weight gain by increasing the amount of insulin in your body. There are many websites that suggest that drinking water during meals is harmful because it causes weight gain. But there is no concrete information about it yet. Also, it is not advisable to drink juices, sugary drinks and other liquids with meals as they are quite unhealthy and lead to weight gain.

What does the research say?

In fact, no such research has come out so far, in which drinking water with food has been described as dangerous. There is no solid evidence to suggest that drinking water with food adversely affects digestion, stomach acid and enzymes.

In such a case, it is entirely up to you whether you drink water while eating or not. If you are facing any problem with drinking water while eating then you can drink water after eating as well.
