    You can't drink water while eating because drinking water while eating can be harmful to human health. Specifically, it can be divided into the following four points:

    1. Affect primary digestive function.

    Drinking a lot of water while eating, so that the gastric juice will be diluted invisibly, and the concentration of gastric acid will definitely be reduced after dilution, and after the concentration of gastric acid is reduced in the initial digestion, for some foods, especially some proteins or fats, the primary digestive function will be affected.

    2. May suffer from gastroenteritis.

    Gastric juice contains a lot of stomach acid, which kills bacteria and viruses in food. Eating and drinking water will dilute stomach acid, and bacteria multiply and predispose to gastroenteritis.

    3. Affect gastric peristalsis.

    In addition to gastric acid, the process of stomach digestion of food also needs to rely on stomach peristalsis, that is, by slowly grinding the food eaten into chyme, in order to accelerate the digestion and absorption of food by the intestines. If we drink a lot of water during a meal, the stomach will be enlarged, then its peristalsis will be weakened accordingly, and digestion and absorption will also be affected.

    4. Affect tooth chewing and increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.

    Many people think that drinking water during meals will make food softener and easier to swallow, but it is not a good habit to reduce the amount of chewing on food by your teeth. On the one hand, this causes less saliva in the mouth, which is not conducive to digesting food. On the other hand, large pieces of food that have not been chewed enter the stomach and intestines, which will also increase the digestive burden on the stomach and intestines.

    We can drink water when we eat, but we must pay attention to the amount of water we drink, and not drink too much water, because drinking too much water during meals will indeed affect our digestive system.

    In the eyes of most people, it is a healthy eating habit that can help digestion, but it is not, drinking too much water during meals will have the following effects on our digestive system: Affect primary digestive function, affect chewing and eating amount, and affect stomach peristalsis.

    Affects primary digestive function. During the meal, if we drink a lot of water, this water will dilute our gastric juices, which will lead to a decrease in the concentration of gastric acid. As one of the initial digestive functions of the human body, gastric acid in gastric juice can effectively enter the primary digestion of proteins, fats and starches in the body.

    If the concentration of stomach acid decreases, it will inevitably affect primary digestion.

    Affects chewing and food intake. Eating without drinking water can affect our meals, reduce our appetite and reduce our nutrient intake. At the same time, drinking water before meals makes the food easy to swallow, and it directly enters the stomach and intestines without too much chewing, which increases the volume of the food eaten, which is not conducive to digestion.

    Affects the peristalsis function of the stomach and intestines. During the meal, drinking too much water will cause the stomach to stretch, thereby weakening its peristalsis function, in this case, it is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of food in our gastrointestinal tract, so drink appropriate amount of water during meals.

    Therefore, we should pay attention to the ways and means of our daily diet, we must develop good eating habits, and effectively protect our gastrointestinal health, so that the food that enters the body can be absorbed by the human body after being fully digested by the digestive system, so as to promote our healthy growth.
