I get asked so many times by my clients if they could drink water before and after meals. The answer is a big fat YES, you should drink. The more you drink, the better for you. it is not going to interfere with your digestion. Instead, the water will help you with it.
Here is a link to a scientific research which was done by M. F. Picco, M.D.
Does drinking water during or after a meal disturb digestion?
Answer From Michael F. Picco, M.D.
There's no concern that water will dilute the digestive juices or interfere with digestion. In fact, drinking water during or after a meal actually aids digestion.
Water is essential for good health. Water and other liquids help break down food so that your body can absorb the nutrients. Water also softens stool, which helps prevent constipation.
Looking for other ways to promote good digestion? Focus on a healthy lifestyle. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Maintain a healthy weight. Include physical activity.
YES, YES and YES to water.
