Does drinking water during food make the belly bigger??


Do not believe that drinking water causes rumen.



There is common information that drinking water before, during, or after food causes rumen and fat accumulation. The second rumor that consuming soda water during food also increases belly fat. The justification for the rumor is that water reduces digestive juices, which reduces the absorption of food.



The effect of drinking water during food:


  • First: If the water reduces digestive juices and the body does not absorb or not digest food well (which is not true),This causes diarrhea and indigestion. Undigested food does not turn into fat and does not turn into anything in the body. It is excreted with feces.At any time your body food is not digested it moves to the stool and not to fat stores.
  • Second: the water actually relieve digestive juices, but the process of digestion is not affected by the concentration of bile or digestive enzymes.Conversely, drinking water during the benefit of food digestion process because this process depends on the water, in the absence of drinking water, the body will store water secreted by the stomach to complete the process.
  • Third: The majority of food consists of water. Vegetables and fruits consist of more than 90% water. Do you think that eating vegetables while eating causes fats?
  • Fourth: the most important point: Drinking water before, during and after food helps to lose weight.
In 2008 a study demonstrated that drinking water before food helped reduce the weight of obese women without even sticking to a specific diet.

In 2010 a study demonstrated that people who drink half a liter of water before food eat 90 calories less.

In 2013 a study demonstrated that people who drank half a liter of water 3 times a day before eating for 8 weeks lost weight.

This is because the water fills the stomach greatly, which helps to satiate quickly, and this is what I do when I have to eat unhealthy food on a social occasion. I drink a whole liter of water before food, and this helps me very much to satiate quickly and reduce the amount of unhealthy food.
