Does Water aid Food Digestion?
Hi Guys,
I guess the title is the gist of the question.
I was told by a friend that water inhibits digestion
(when consumed with food),
but I would have thought dilution would make it easier
for the body to absorb nutrients, etc.
Cheers, Art.If not actually, then potentially.

Oops.
I drink one and a half liters of water after every meal.
Should I just be drinking it throughout the meal instead?

I just read a couple of days ago that you should be drinking water inbetween meals rather than during, as it interfears with digestion.Originally posted by Premo55

I guess it is impossible to eat your meals without water.

I guess that would include any beverage,
as they would all have a similar effect.
Yes, I have been saturating my meals
I'd better change my habbits.
Thanx.

This is going to be harder than it sounds when we are
supposed to be eating six small meals per day!
Got to make sure I keep drinking the rest of the day.

that is correct. basically you should drink enough water as is needed to get down your meal.Originally posted by Jill

How about PWO with your shake? Do you just keep sipping water in the hour before you eat your whole meal?
