Drinking water has tons of medical benefits. Making it your top drink of choice increases energy, relieves fatigue, promotes weight loss, flushes out toxins, improves your complexion, boosts the immune system, and puts you in a good mood.
However, experts have long argued about when is the best time to drink water when it comes to eating. While some believe it is best to gulp down a glass of water before a meal, some think it is best to drink after eating.
Stethnews.com listed down the benefits of drinking water before or after each meal.
Drinking water before a meal helps you reduce calorie intake. Several studies have shown that it will make you consume less calories during a meal and make you avoid sugar- and calorie-loaded beverages.
It also helps cleanse your internal system, particularly when taken before breakfast. It flushes out toxins from your blood, purifies your colon, cleanses your stomach and intestines, and helps balance your lymph system. Drinking water before meals prepares your body for the day ahead and activates your internal organs to kickstart your metabolism.
Drinking water before eating breakfast also rehydrates your naturally dehydrated body after a long sleep.
On the other hand, Dr. Michael F. Picco of Mayo Clinic believes that drinking water right after a meal aids in digestion helping your body easily absorb nutrients.
