10 Good Eating Habits | Drink Water Before a Meal, Not After
Water before a meal is nectar. It replenishes fluids and encourages juicy digestive organs. Small sips during a meal is honey. It helps turn the food into a sauce. Water after a meal is poison and dilutes stomach acids.
Like all foods, water must be digested until it resembles the blood in salinity, sweetness, and pH. Water takes effort to digest but doesn't provde nutrition! Ayurveda recommends broths instead of water. Some examples are soup stocks, almond smoothies, and fruit juices.
