#FreshnessFriday Food is one of the source to keep your self healthy but how to eat is another way of being healthy. According to Ayurveda, drinking water during eating should be avoided. The reason is that when you eat, the stomach stores juices that help us in digestion. When we drink water during eating, the juices that are produced by our stomach will become diluted and as result food will take longer time to digest. This will also cause the digestive system to work ha...rder in order to break down the food. In addition, it will cause deposit of fat in the body because of the undigested food. The best way to avoid this is have water half an hour before eating the food. This way during eating one will not feel like drinking water. After an hour or so, you can have as much water as you like. Namaste and Enjoy! -Manu, Vedic Vastu Consultant (Comment, Follow, Like and Share!)
