The habit of drinking water while eating is often called undesirable and harmful, arguing that the liquid dilutes the gastric juice. Doctor and TV presenter Yevgeny Komarovsky explained why drinking water with food is actually good.

Do not think that drinking water while eating disrupts the process of digesting food, reducing the concentration of digestive enzymes. According to the doctor, there is not a single serious study proving the harm from such a habit. Moreover, it can be beneficial for the body..

“I would not say that this is a bad habit. Quite often people have a deficiency of fluid in the body, which leads to disruption of the digestive process, ”explained Dr. Komarovsky.

The doctor added that when, for example, a child drinks water while eating, and he has a shortage of liquid (for example, due to the fact that the house has heating, drying the air), moisture only benefits, improving the absorption of food.

At the same time, Dr. Komarovsky writes that in many cases the body does not have a real physiological need for drinking water for food, that is, a person drinks it simply because he is used to doing it.
