Drinking fluids with meals dilutes digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid. Therefore, minimal fluid should be consumed during a meal. Limiting fluid intake during a meal will ensure that the digestive juices are concentrated enough to properly breakdown the meal and prepare it for proper assimilation. If a liquid is absolutely necessary it should be some form of a warm beverage like a tea and be four ounces or less. Otherwise, do not drink anything within 30 minutes before a meal and approximately two hours after a meal. This simple nutritional modification will increase the likelihood of proper digestion which will allow the body to reap the full nutrient benefits of the food consumed. |
