You have a habit of drinking a lot when you're eating? It looks like you should immediately change the habit. Therefore, drinking water when eating was found to inhibit the digestion in the stomach.
Counselors microbiotic from India, Shonali Sabherwal, say, when eating is not the right time to quench your thirst. "People do not know how to drink water while eating their digestion difficult enough," says Sabherwal as quoted by the Times of India.
Research shows that drinking a little water during meals is not a concern. However, drinking a glass or two drinks can impair digestion. The researchers found that it is best to drink water before a meal and two hours afterwards. This helps in the absorption of nutrients.
Sabherwal says that drinking water while eating can dilute the concentration of stomach acid (HCl). To digest food, the body needs a certain concentration of HCl. However, because they drink a lot of water, the concentration of HCl is reduced. As a result, only a small amount of food that can be digested by the body. This, if allowed to continue can cause various diseases.
Stomach acid, in addition to aid digestion also functions as an anti-bacterial. If the stomach is not working optimally, it can affect other digestive organs to work harder, causing an imbalance of the body's metabolism.
So as not to feel thirsty when eating, Sabherwal urged not to eat too many salty foods. "Make sure your food is not too salty because it will further create a thirst," he said. In order to keep it running good digestion even without assisted by water, he suggested that chewing slowly. When chewing, mouth secretes enzymes that help digestion of food so that the task of the stomach to digest food becomes lighter.
