Hydration - Do not drink while eating!

A common mistake we observed from our profiling experience is many drink during meals.  This habit has a serious impact on the health of one’s body and the cause of many diseases.

Drinking water while eating dilutes the hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach thus food is not properly digested.  Undigested food will then putrefy and create an environment for bacteria and parasite to thrive in the gastrointestinal tract.

When these pathogens breed in the gastrointestinal tract, it will fight for the supply of nutrients against the body. As they multiply in numbers, they would alter the body’s terrain to suit them. They would interfere with the body’s cell-to-cell communication and impair the immune system and thus overrun the body.

For those not into energetic practice, the gastrointestinal tract is the main system where the body can access nutrients to operate the vital functions. If pathogens overrun this system, imagine the health problems that would ensue.

 

So, do not drink while eating!  As a general rule, half hour before eating and one hour after eating is the time where no water should be taken.  You should drink as much water as possible outside of these hours.
