Why We Should Not Drink Water Immediately After Eating or While eating!!!


It is very common that people drink lots of water after there meal and it is a trend that they sit with a big glass of iced water while eating. But actually drinking water while eating or after eating leads to diseases like peptic ulcers, constipation and other gastric problems. And prolonged habit can even lead to hypertension, depression and gastric cancer.

It will sound funny that our stomach and digestion process is actually related to The Sun, it does sound unbelievable but its true. The Sun it directly related to our Digestive fire the detailed explanation will be discussed in next post. 

The fact is that everytime we eat something our digestive fire ignites ( digestive juices are secreted form glands such as saliva,HCl , pepsin etc) and it is no rocket science that fire is extinguished by water ( the acids or the juices become diluted and hence their action on food is very less) due to which the food is not digested properly. And when the food is not digestion properly it decomposes(rots) as the time is defined for the food to go through each phase of digestion. The products and byproducts of decomposition process have harmful effects on our body, this become worse when it leads constipation and the harmful by products of our body are not excreted properly and timely.

Note: 2-3 sips of water are permissible according ayurveda if it is necessary like if the food gets stuck while swallowing. 

What to drink after food will be posted soon.

Plz comment 

Thank you
