They is nothing wrong to drink some water during meal time.
Water is the next plentiful substance next to oxygen in the earth.
The human
body composed at most 80% water. It is the main transport agent for food
nutrients, hormones, enzymes and other secretions in the human body.
Everything
on the earth is composed of water. Even the dry ground is not 100% dry. It
contained some water. Drink water at meals and stay hydrate throughout the day.
Take every
unimaginable plant growing on the earth. It consists mostly of water.
Why you may
ask. It is because water is a transport agent in all systems. It mostly carry
food nutrients and blood, including the oxygen we breathe round every internal
cells of the body and at the same time emitting harmful substances or poisons
including carbon dioxide.
When it
comes to the human body, it seems this analogy of plants is true of the human
body also. I do not have a dry bone in me. Do you have such a bone? Every cell,
every nerve and muscles of my body including my skin and hair is wet with water
to some limits, and it needs to be kept moist all the time. Water provided the
answer according to nutrition basics. Or what do you think else?
Dehydration
When plants
and vegetables start to dehydrate, what I notice first is the loss of leaves or
texture. I probably cannot replace the
losses. Nature will take its course in that.
If the young
flowering plant just started to wilt, I can help by putting in some water.
But I can
replaced the lost of water in my body in many ways including drinking water
regularly before, at meals and after meals, and when tasty in many other ways
like taking a cup of tea or a dilute juice of real 100% orange or apple.
When I do
not drink enough water or I do not replaced any loss of water in my body, for
example water lost through urination, perspiration, breathing out, lost of
blood via, a wound and excretion, my body becomes dehydrated with serious
consequent.
The Need To Drink Water
·
It
will help you stay your body weight; or you may employ it to lost weight or
gain weight.
·
It
will help you digest, absorb and assimilate the foods you eat. The water you
drink will help transport food nutrients all over the body. If I do not drink
enough water, I lost the full benefits of nutrients in the foods I eat, right?
·
Drinking
enough water regulates the body temperature.
·
To
avoid constipation, drink some water whether you are tasty or not regularly.
·
The
wastes in the bowel need water to be kept moist and excrete out of the body.
·
Early
morning water drinking help flush the belly of digestive residues.
·
Your
digestive juices and internal secretions or hormone is entirely of water.
·
The
blood is more than 80% water.
·
Digested
foods need some water for mixing for the right consistency.
·
Drinking
water just for the taste of it will help speed up your metabolic rate if you
are extremely fat person and break down adipose tissues.
·
This
zero into lowering the blood pressure if it is about 97/87 or 97 over 87. Such
a blood pressure is high.
Drinking Water At Meals
Some persons
do not like to drink water at meal time. They think they may not get to eat and
enjoy enough of the nice and delicious meal. We all know drinking too much
water before meal and at meal time will make us eat less of the meal. But one
can avoid the problem by having a mouthful of water instead of gulping down a
glass of water. A sip here and there can help matters much.
I do not see
any reason and common sense to drink a full glass of water as you eat unless
you are a person on a weight loss program. I also do not see any point in
drinking a litre of water before the chop plate. This reduced your intake of
the meal; and also points to the fact that what you eat and digested is not
rightly absorbed into the blood stream. In other words, too much water has dispersed
the nutrients and failing to form a right dilution that can be absorb and
assimilate. So one easily loss weight by the body speeding up the metabolic
rate.
Although
water will help you digest the food you are eating, you should drink half or a
full glass 30 to 60 minutes before eating. This prepares or lubricates your
digestive system for the meal. And it will wash your belly 30 minutes before
you start to eat.
Then during
the meal period, have a sip often after chewing at most three mouthfuls of the
meal, if need be. This diluted the chunks you swallow down. A solution that is found
by drinking one or two glass of water is bad. It means you are not getting
enough from the meal as already said above.
The Right Balance
One
digestive secretion released in the mouth during mealtime is saliva. It contains
the digestive enzyme pyatin or mucous. It lubricated the food and brings out
the taste. It even helps moist the food particle one is chewing. Drinking too
much water at meal destroys all these or neutralized the chemical actions.
Other
secretions in the body like insulin are also negatively affected by drinking
too much water at meals.
One should strike the right balance in all these. So
the secretion of insulin when too much sugar gets into the blood stream is not
delivering the beneficial impact. Drinking too much water negated all these.
Stay Hydrated
I drink some of water during the day to stay
hydrated. I do not mean I just drink bottles after bottles of water. I do not
go on one glass after glass of water. Even when I am very thirsty after a mile
of jogging routine as an example, I sip half a glass!
Please, do
misunderstand me here. My body badly needs water. I have to control the intake.
My liver needs to be taking good care off, and that is my responsibility and
not another persons. While you see, this organ regulates the water in our body.
Any excess is removed via, urination; and taking in more than necessary is
giving the liver extreme work to do. It will become under functional in such
cases of extreme work and a health risk will result.

Than after
about 10 minutes or so, I will suck two orange and chew a sugar cane. Remember
the fruits and root has some pure and ionized waters!
Next, after
washing my body, I will eat a good meal consisting of carbohydrates, some fats
and more protein for the muscles plus green leafy vegetables. The later again
provide natural water. I do mind sipping some water along with the meal, and
after the meal and to drink three mouthful and rest.
Within an
hour or so, I should be thirsty. I will drink a half glass of water to replaced
all loses during the jogging period. If I am tasty again, a cup of tea is okay
for me with added milk and brown sugar. You see, I should do everything
possible to keep my body weight intact and not to go under or above.
So far, I
would still need a sip here and there to keep hydrated due to the fact that
much action is going on in my body especially with the muscles. They need
sugar, protein, and other food nutrient and have to be transport the water as
the main solvent. The muscular secretions need water and much more.
I keep a big
bottle 1 litre of water for this and I have to use it up before I go to bed at
9.00PM. Taking a sip often and also along with my snacks and other meals will help
much in keeping me hydrated.
Do not
underestimate the power of water in the internal working of the human body. The
human body is 80% water and this corresponds to the percentage of water in the
blood which is about 80%.
Water Diets
Water is
food. Many persons will not understand this. Because we usual think of food as
containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, whether these are starch (sugar),
fats and proteins, water lacks the carbon atom. So some say it is not food.
However,
classifications of food into carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atom (CHO) do not meet
any scientific challenge like the Dalton Atomic theory. But we do know for sure
that proteins have an extra chain like sulphur or nitrogen along with CHO
atoms. This did not fall within the basic scientific definition. This accounts
for their unique amino acid contents.
Then, we realize that some poor souls that hardly get enough animal or
fish protein as required make this out by combination or excessive use of only
one class of food for a limited period of time until things settle down. The
synthesis of protein from excessive use of carbohydrates and or fats is yet to
be explained clearly by science.
Any time one
is thirsty, it calls for something to eat or drink whether it is just a meal, a
bottle of drink or water. This I reason put water rightly among foods.
You see
water rightly contains only oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Chances are that it can
combine with metabolic breakdown of adipose tissues to form a food. The
breakdown is oxidizing to release some sort of energy. This will make a person
not hungry during the interim period.
Or how do
you go on to explain the phenomenon?
Here are
some ways to keep well hydrate all day.
1. After your last meal at evening or
night and before going to bed to sleep drink half a glass of water.
2. During sleep, you make wake up to
urinate. Drink half a glass of water.
3. Any time during sleep that you feel
tossing to and from, try to wake up and drink half a glass of water again.
4. On waking up fully from sleep in the
morning, drink a full glass of water whether you are thirsty or not.
5. For your pre-breakfast cut and
squeeze a lime or lemon juice into a glass of water and drink this.
6. During the main breakfast, drink half
a glass of water by sipping a little here and there during the meal.
7. Snack a cup of cucumber, water melon
or any of your favorite fruits with vegetables along with half a glass of
water. Remember the foods you eat have water. Even the dry air you breathe is
moist with water.
8. Do the same likewise during lunch
time and mid afternoon.
In this way,
you are likely to drink 1 litre of water in a day and you stay truly hydrated.
