How to Shop for Healthy Foods : Healthy Drinking & Digestion
The video above presents a very simple tip that can be a big help for those who have problems with digestion. While it is important to drink adequate water to maintain hydration, you don have to drink a lot of water or other liquids at the same time you eat your meals.
People who have problems with digestion need to keep the concentration of stomach acid and enzyme high to get maximum digestion of their food.
Excess consumption of liquids during or before meals can drastically dilute the digestive action and result in gas, indigestion, heartburn, and can even result in food allergies because the body may produce an immune reaction to poorly digested food in the GI tract. So, keep your fluid consumption low during and right before meals and consume more of your water between meals.
