We hear in normal life that some people say one should not drink water during the time of eating or after eating, but in reality, it does not matter whether you drink water before eating or after eating.
Some people say that the acid that is formed in the stomach to digest food gets disturbed due to water, but that is not the case.
“When you drink water, the stomach secretes more acid as well because the stomach has to create the environment that digests food,” she explains.
So, drinking water before, during, or after meals does not cause any harm, and at least it does not affect digestion.
“Which is good for people who are trying to lose weight if they drink water during or before eating, because this way the stomach will stay full for some time after eating, so they can eat less.”
“So it doesn’t matter if you drink water before or after.”
