Scientists advise drinking on the day about 8 glasses of drinking water - in their opinion, this will give our body the optimum degree of hydration. Especially important is the hydration for the digestive system - without it the food simply will not be digested and as a result it can lead to various negative consequences. However, excessive consumption of drinking water in the process of food intake is also undesirable - the group of researchers analyzing various aspects of the human digestive process is convinced, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net As for specific rules, in this issue the opinions of scientists are divided. According to the most radical point of view, in order for food to be best absorbed, you can not drink any liquid for 15 minutes before eating, during this process and for about 1 hour after. Proponents of a more moderate approach are advised simply to limit the use of liquid - not to drink only directly during the meal, and it is advisable to slightly limit the quenching of thirst within half an hour after a meal.

The thing is that the excessive amount of water in the digestive system negatively affects the level of bile and acid, what is commonly called gastric juice. It is this digestive juice, produced by various cells of the gastric mucosa, is most responsible for digesting food. It consists of various compounds, chlorides, phosphates, hydrogen carbonates and so on, but mostly from water. If the proportion of water in it is too high, then the food will not be digested properly - there can be frustration, and in the long run this can lead to more serious consequences too, scientists believe.
