    Should you drink liquid while eating?

    A friend and I are having a debate, and I'm having problems finding information about this in Google today.

    The question is, should you drink something while eating food, or should you drink it after you eat? He's saying that you need to chew your food and let the stomach acid start to digest the solids and if you drink liquid it ends up diluting it, making the food harder to digest.

    I claim bullshit on that one becuase I think it doesn't matter. Your stomach should produce the right amount of acid and your body will digest it.

    Can you imagine eating something, then eating a peanut butter sandwich, and that first thing you ate caused some food poisoning so you're puking up soft server chew shit? Nasty.

    I found this article, but I have a hard time believing it especially since it's backing up the claim with Cold or iced drinks may interfere with digestion according to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

    4. Don't wash your food down. Too much liquid with your meals may dilute the digestive juices you need. Try to drink liquid before your meals so you won't feel thirsty during the meal. Cold or iced drinks may interfere with digestion according to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. A little liquid with the meal may not interfere with digestion and a glass of warm water with lemon juice l/2 hour before a meal may promote secretion of hydrochloric acid.

                    Should you piss and shit at the same time? Or should you piss standing up, then take a shit?

                    Really, none of this matters unless you're like 90 years old and in bad health.

                        I always drink a lot with every meal... it just makes it more enjoyable.

                        I knew a girl once who had a boyfriend that didn't drink anything until after he ate because he said drinking fills you up too much. I thought it was weird but he's probably right.

                              You should drink as little as possible while eating to help your digestion.

                                I don't drink anything during my meal either. It fills me up, plus it takes away from the taste of the food (in my mind).

                                The only beverage I will consume during a meal is wine.

                                  Sorry for quoting you out of context here Steve. I know this is from the article and not your quote.. but this is the part that makes it lose all credibility for me. It's like saying "Drink lots of water before you run a marathon and then you won't get thirsty"

                                  Eating always makes me thirsty. I always have a large beverage with every meal.

                                    Couldn't agree with that statement more. Like the man said, if it were that bad it would be known.

                                      I've heard from a few people and different sources that drinking during meals is bad for your digestion. I can't say whether I believe it or not, but I do know that if I drink a lot of water during a meal, my stomach feels a little funny. However, if I happen to have some soda during a meal, I don't feel that way. I think this could be because of the sugar in it so it doesn't dillute the food as well - same with soup, since it has so many other ingredients in it.

                                        Several of you are saying drinking is bad for digestion, while I've heard its good for digestion! Haha. I heard once that you should drink a glass of water with every meal because it helps your body digest better. Though I really have no idea.

                                        Some people also say you should drink a glass of water before eating so you don't eat as much, which is true. So if you're on a diet or would like to drop a few pounds, drink a glass of water before every meal.

                                                Yeah...just like smoking!
                                                For years and years it was considered cool and not harmfull and everybody was doing it.

                                                Yeah...just like drinking alcohol!
                                                It's bad for you and still everybody does it and a lot too!


                                                I.e. you're full of shit with that statement.

                                                  it is a public knowledge, you shouldn't drink anything during your meals

                                                  does it make a big difference to your diet/healt? I don't think so

                                                      Drinking while eating is bad because you end up facilitating the fool past your stomach and you end up eating more. I had a gastric operation done and I had to learn all about proper eating
                                                      it is best to drink 30 minutes before or after you eat. I know it defeats the purpose of eating and drinking but if you have to drink while eating just drink small quantities to moisten dry food.

                                                          I have heard people saying you should refrain from drinking while eating. You can drink a whole glass of water after meal but I never really understood why.

Try to drink liquid before your meals so you won't feel thirsty during the meal. Cold or iced drinks may interfere with digestion according to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. A little liquid with the meal may not interfere with digestion and a glass of warm water with lemon juice l/2 hour before a meal may promote secretion of hydrochloric acid.

                                                                      ding ding ding, you have found the right answer...

                                                                        http://www.healthy.net/scr/Article.asp?Id=608

                                                                        4. Don't wash your food down. Too much liquid with your meals may dilute the digestive juices you need. Try to drink liquid before your meals so you won't feel thirsty during the meal. Cold or iced drinks may interfere with digestion according to Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. A little liquid with the meal may not interfere with digestion and a glass of warm water with lemon juice l/2 hour before a meal may promote secretion of hydrochloric acid.
