For the rest of the day, we suggest that you alternate taking four ounces of water and four ounces of lemon water every half hour. Essentially, you are rehydrating your body on a continuous basis. You should stop drinking water a half hour before you eat, not drink at all while eating, and you can resume drinking an hour after eating. Water dilutes digestive enzymes, thus making digestion more difficult. Next comes the question of what kind of water to drink.
Most people assume that bottled water, or spring water, is cleaner and healthier than tap water.
This is an incorrect assumption. In fact, there is no regulation for bottled water, and often this water is more polluted than your municipal water. The only kind of water that you can be guaranteed is pure and unpolluted is distilled water. Distilled water has the other advantage of actually pulling out toxins and debris in the body as it wind its way down your digestive track. Distilled water helps to clean out our cells, organs and fluids.
