I do both. Water aids in digestion of foods. Staying hydrated helps with mistaking hunger for thirst. When I feel hungry I drink a glass of water. If I’m still hungry , the I eat. If not, then it may have just been thirst. Water helps regulate many bodily functions and your appetite.
Drinking water before your meal with make sure that you don’t eat more because you’re really just thirsty. Also, it will make your stomach feel full so you won’t overeat.
While I don’t have the scientific research to back up my answer, I think it would be best to drink a larger amount of water before the meal and then small amounts with it. This way your body has fluid to make digestive juices without the stomach acid being diluted with a great deal of water.
From what i know , it is better to drink water half an hour before meal, that makes you feel full quicker but you still need to eat well ;)
I don’t know if it is better to drink water 30 minutes before a meal or to drink during a meal. However, I choose to do both. I drink before a meal to help curb my appetite as well as for extra hydration. I drink during a meal as well, since it helps me swallow, and I believe it helps me be hydrated as well. I believe dehydration is one of our most common health issues.
Depends on why you’re drinking water. Are usually don’t drink anything during my meals and often have a 16 ounce glass of water after my meals. I drink half my body weight in ounces of water every day. It doesn’t matter when I do it.
I like to drink it before and also with. I feel like drinking before a meal makes sure I’m not eating when I’m really just thirsty and also helps me avoid over eating. Drinking with my meal also helps me recreation from over eating, and had to make digestion easier.
If you want to feel full more quickly then drinking some water during a meal is a good idea. Not too much though or you wont be able to finish your meal. I personally drink water before a meal and again after.
I think you should do both. A glass of water half an hour before helps prepare your organism. This and drinking water while eating helps digestion. Even if all of this were false drinking water is great for your body so try to make it a habit.
Both. It takes time for your stomach to signal to your brain that you are full. That’s why drinking your water earlier not only hydrtaes you, but helps you get a better sense of how hungry you really are. It’s also the reason health experts suggest eating your meals more slowly in order to give your brain time to receive those signals.
