As we constantly worry about our health we try to monitor our eating habits and diet. And when you try to watch something it always gets out of your way. Have you ever thought about the effects of ordinary drinking water on your body? Is it useful to drink water during meals, drink it before or after eating?
If you start to study this question, you will see completely different opinions of doctors. Some nutritionists state that drinking water during or after having a meal weakens the effects of saliva and digestive juice. Food unprocessed by gastric juices does not end up with undergoing necessary stages of digestion in stomach and begin to rot. Toxic substances enter bloodstream as a result. Other nutritionists say the opposite. First, water helps to grind and soften large pieces of food. Thanks to this, a food lump moves easier along the esophagus. Secondly, fluids pass through digestive system faster than solids. Water immediately leaves stomach and does not affect a rate of digestion. Water increases amount of food and helps regulate appetite, prevents overeating.
Who is right? A person consists of 80% of water and cannot function without it. About 2-3 liters should be ingested daily. This is 15 glasses of 200 ml. Of course no one drinks so much. Most of the fluid comes with food. If you listen to natural instincts, your body will make a right choice. So a strong feeling of thirst occurs when a man eats dry or salty food. At the same time, a person is unlikely to decide to drink soup or fatty meat with cool water. Amount of fluid drunk should match the natural feeling of thirst. This means that the most correct thing is to focus on the signals of your body.
