It’s not always easy to know what’s healthy and what’s not. Sometimes, the opinions on a single topic will be completely divided, leaving us baffled about what we should actually do. Today’s topic: is it really harmful to drink water during meals?
It’s commonly believed that drinking water while eating will slow down the digestion process. Turns out, that’s not entirely true. Water actually stays in our stomach for no longer than 10 minutes – not nearly enough to affect the digestion. If anything, it can help soften the swallowed food digest faster.
Our bodies are too complicated to let a glass of water mess with the stomach acid necessary for digestion, so feel free to drink as much water as you want during the day, even while you’re eating!
