Do you drink water before taking meals?

I don't even though I know how good for you it is. I try to make myself drink water, but I just don't like it.

I do not drink nearly enough water every day. I try to drink at least two glasses but sometimes find myself craving more. I know I should have a lot more than that but I just don't seem to each day. I think water has many healing properties and can really help with digestion. Have you heard about the women who overdosed on water to win concert tickets at a radio station. She actually died from the overdose.

i sometimes eat with the drink is not a problem for my stomach felt it needed the water because of it's function to refine the food we digest

I had heard that it was good for dieting, but I keep forgetting to do it. Water is really good for you too. Keeps your skin soft and healthy. You don't need to drink too much water before your meal to start the feeling of satiety. I think about an 8-16 oz glass should do it for most. Besides, I think more acid is produced when the food actually hits the stomach.

Not really, careguarden! I don't pay attention on it! I drink before meal just coz I'm thirsty then. And people also said drinking water before meal is harmful, as it water down gastric juice. (Now lunch time is coming, and I'm drink tea. It's said more harmful, as gastric juice is acid, and tea is alkaline.)

I think maybe drink soup before meal is a better way as people in Canton do. It works the same as drinking water but better, I think.

Don't Italians drink stuff like limoncello to aid in the digestion process? I read that people in some countries drink warm drinks like tea to do similar things. I never heard this about drinking water before every meal. I do remember people saying not to drink cold drinks. To be honest, I like cold drinks and could careless if it's bad. I'll drink whatever I feel comfortable with. It's better than having to force myself to drink water before every meal or drink something warm. lol

no, I seldom drink water before taking meals.
but I often drink water after having meals.
I know it is not a good habbit, but I just can't helping do that.
happy mylotting.

yes, sometimes i'm taking drinks before meals,it makes ur stomach feel better.

yes i drink wate before taking meals.i agree with youir reasoning.also we have to take atlest ten to twelve glasses of water daily and it is also very essential for good health.

I think it is better drink water after food not between and before.If you are trying to loose weight,you can drink water slipping food.If you drink 3 or 4 glasses of water in empty stomach you can avoid many of the diseases..
