How to drink water during meals

Experts say it is possible to drink a glass of water during the meal, but it is recommended to use filtered water instead of flavored water and drink it evenly throughout the meal.

Some claim that drinking water when eating dilutes stomach acids, causing digestive disorders.

However, president of the association of Dietitians, said this was not entirely correct.

“It’s only partially true. Drinking during meals can dilute stomach acid.

However, your body produces up to 4 liters of acid per day.

It decomposes food into individual portions for further metabolism. It also kills most bacteria that saliva hasn’t fully processed,”

A culinary and nutritionist at the Consumer Advisory Center in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, also concurred with this view.

He thinks that eating and drinking filtered water is not harmful to the body.

“A glass of water doesn’t cause a problem. On the contrary, it helps transport food chewed with saliva into the stomach, which in turn goes to the intestines,” He explains.

In some families, parents do not allow children to drink water during meals because they are concerned that the drink will distract, cause a feeling of fullness in the stomach, cause children to eat too little and malnourished.
