Do you drink water in between your meals?

No, I take water only after my meals that too after 15-20 minutes of consuming meals. I also feel that taking water in between meals does not help and is not good for digestion.

Yes, I do drink water in between meals. It helps me swallow my food easier. And I know the benefits of drinking enough water in a day. So to make sure I am drinking enough water, I did it more often.

Hello dear Buchi_bulla. I seldom drink water in-between meals. I usually have some soup at meals. I think that your granny is right to say so as I cannot say no to what she used to say. Thanks for your discussion.

not often. 'cause i don't like to have salty foods.if they are,i shall take some soup to feel better.and if you eat slowly and chew with enough cae,i guess you wouldn't feel sth is choking.besides,these eating manners are really good for digesting.just for reference.

I do drink water between meal. I was just thinking about it this morning because I started my diet today (after holidays) and I don't want it to be a strict diet for the first few days because it would be such a shock for my body. My problem are not the meals but those things that I eat between meals. I know that's wrong but I can't stop myself sometimes so today each time I wanted to reach for chocolate candies or something salty I just drink water instead.

I don't. I drink water before and after meals only. I don't know, I'm just used to doing that.

You need 8 glasses of water a day. Why is it unhealthy to drink between meals?

yea, most of the time. Especially when eating spicy foods... I cant help but finish my drink much faster than the meal itself Xp

Water is healthy drinking. I carry a bootle around with me all day long. One reason is because I want to fill my stomach up, so that I DON'T EAT too much. LOL

Yes, I drink water quite often. I think it is good to stay hydrated and perhaps your granny got some poor information somewhere down the line. I have had other older people tell me to drink water not just at meals.

I drink a lot of filtered water in betwewen meals. (The water in our area is not great... the filter removes the impurities) I keep a glass of water next to me at the computer, when watching TV, whatever and take lots of sips so I probably drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. And if I'm going on a long drive, I bring a thermos. From what I've read, it's a healthy habit. I feel better when I'm "hydrated" :-)
