🚫Don't drink EXCESS water right after the meal🚫
❌Never do this: Ep #1❌

It can effect in 2 ways:

😱* Creates imbalance in the pH of the stomach (which is explained as "dilutes gastric juices").
* Further, causes the body to produce excess acid (to make the stomach "acidic enough" for the digestion)
* And then water leaves the stomach and how! Stomach will be excessively acidic than what's required for digestion. And that's NOT GOOD!

🤔Think of making Dosa Batter. Excess water will ruin the consistency of the batter, leaving large granules of the grain, leaving it no-good for consumption! Similarly drinking water excessively (even 1-2 glass) after the meal will affect our stomach's efficiency of mechanical digestion of the food, which then hampers the whole digestive process.

✅What can you do?✅
1. IF you feel thirsty - take warm water in small sips.
2. If you feel heavy - walk leisurely for about 50 to 100 steps and then take small sips of hot water.
3. You CAN drink more water after an hour of meal, after 2 hours is even better - because by then mechanical digestion will be set (of course that depends on the food we've eaten. Will talk about it in a seperate reel🙌🏻)
