Do you drink water just before taking any meal?

Oh yeah!!! i do drink water befor takig any meal!!! and why do I take it!!! because drinking water before taking a meal helps one to digest food!!!as we all know sliva in our mouth helps us to digest food!!! but if you wan't increase this digestion you can drink water before and also with the meal!!!!

Most people don't drink enough water so don't worry about it, as it's a good habit to have. I drink a glass of water before every meal when I need to lose weight, it fills my stomach and helps me feel full! If I'm not dieting I still drink a glass, some before and the rest during the meal. Especially if I'm having a sandwich. I love bread but I find it difficult to eat. Sometimes it gets stuck in my gullet and it can be quite painful till I have a drink! It doesn't happen if I drink water. Drinking plenty of water or other non-caffiene containing liquids can have other health benefits as well. It helps keep the Kidneys and Bladder working properly, reducing the risk of infection. I'm a care-worker and I see a lot of people who have symptoms of mild dehydration or infections and I always try to get them to have a drink of water.

I was not followingthis habbit but then i watched a TV health show and there they was discussing that its so much healthy to take water before any meal and not good to take water after meal soo i started taking it before meal and untill now i feel really soo change in my system then i have studied it and asked some other doctors also they all agreed that taking water before any meal is a heallty practice soo keep going on my vote is with you

Yes I drink full glass of water before taking any meal, which is very good habit. During the course of taking of meal you should not consume water as it may affect the digestive system. After taking meal near about half an hour later you should take glass then your digestive system will work properly. I am taking glass of water 30 minutes after completing meal. Moreover taking maximum quantity of water is good for body specially in summer season. In winter consumption of water is less in my case as during winter water is very chilled. pkc3000

Hey ! I don't drink water before taking any meal but I enjoy drinking some while eating. Althought I prefer red whine. But I hate to drink water when I'm taking my breakfast, don't ask me why :) Enjoy your day, and sorry for the bad english (i'm french) httpx

I also to take before and during meal....

It is very good to drink water, but I only drink water with a meal when I go out for supper in a restaurant.

I drink water or tea with my meals it helps fill me up so I don't go back for seconds

Yes, I do have the habit of drinking a bit of water prior to taking a meal. my mother discouraged the practice when we used to go out to eat when I was a girl - as she did not want me filling up on water instead of the paid for dinner. She also did not like me to drink during a meal because either I would fill up on the water OR I will be washing the food down and not feeling like I have eaten enough when I had.

You mean you take a mouthful of water before the meal or is it a mouthful of water before each mouthful of food? For me, I do not drink before or immediately after food unless drink is part of the meal. I do drink maybe 15 minutes later.

i do especially if the meal is not that sumptous. i tend to drink lots of water so that my tummy will be filled easily hehe..

Hi there. I don't have the habit. I drink after Dinner if I drink near Dinner time. I just don't have this point aye. Catch ya later.

No, I don't do that. I usually forget to even get a drink with my meal. Then in the middle I have to get up and get something to drink because I'm thirsty. In fact, you have made me realize that I am thirsty right now and I'm going to go get a drink I left in the dining room. lol

Yes I do that sometimes especially when I think I want to eat not so much food. It helps me to feel full before taking a meal. Its one of my ways to reduce my food intake especially during dinner. Someone told me that and I guess it works for me.

I also have this habit of drinking a bit of water before taking a meal. I don't have any special reason for doing so. I do it autoimatically. I mean its just a habit. When I sit on dinning chair, I take a sip of water and then start having breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Pretty much no. I guess I might do that if the food is too little and I want to bloat myself up. But otherwise, no. I drink water throughout the day so I see no need to especially drink some just before each meal.

No, I don't drink water before meal. As it's easy to be full. I prefer to drink it after eating. Especially when there is no soup and water is the most common drink for me to have after a meal.

I take some water before a meal to fill up a bit so I don't "wolf down" too much food. I like a little water with a meal too. I tell people maybe I am part raccoon -- that is a animal that always dips its food in water before eating it. Raccoons are fascinating animals. Do they have them where you live?

Hi Suba i always drink water before meal nore between not after i develop this habit almost 6-7 yrs ago and stick to it i heard its good for ur stomach and by this u dont get fat easily So i am following this practice Tae care

I occasionally drink water before eating, but only if I have it readily available. I don't go out of my way to look for it, but if I am at home, I will drink.
