Hi steemians...
One of the habits of people after eating is drinking water in considerable quantities. Drinking in excess amounts like this is actually quite a risk to health.
Here are some things that can happen if you drink a lot after eating:
Belly belly. Water that enters the stomach after eating will trigger excessive gas and take place in a fast time. As a result the stomach becomes bloated and uncomfortable.
Digestive problems. Excess water will make the digested food more difficult to pass through the colon. The effect is increasing the risk of constipation, gas, and so on.
Blood sugar increases. Improper foods are ingested by the influence of this water, which increases blood sugar levels. The spike in blood sugar lasts quite rapidly with the lag of undigested foods.
Excess gastric acid. Drinking water after meals makes the stomach acid diluted. This triggers an increase in stomach acid. It is feared later could trigger acid reflux.
The ideal time to drink is at least half an hour before meals. If you want to drink after a meal just done half an hour later. Habits like this make the process of digestion of food takes place more effectively.
