not against you starting with number five drinking water before and after meals gulping a glass of water after meals might be the most satisfying thing for you however this is the worst thing that you can do to your body when we eat a meal our body's temperature rises for better digestion but drinking water just after meals instantly dilutes the gastric juices reducing the body's ability to digest food this way the food doesn't get digested properly and rots within the system and when food rots within the system not only your body fails to absorb the nutrients
from it but also it brings along digestive problems like floating gas acidity etc this is the reason you see people saying that i eat mostly healthy food but i am still not able to get the desired results i am not able to lose weight even though i am drinking enough water the reason is that you are drinking water just before or after meals one small hack that i practice is that instead of drinking water i rinse my mouth with it it really helps number four gulping down the water in today's fast-paced life most people mindlessly
drink water it might seem hard to believe but in reality the way water enters your body can make a huge difference if you drink water too fast anyway your body won't accept it and would flush most of it out exactly the opposite of what you wanted to happen moreover our stomach is acidic in nature on the other hand saliva in our mouth is alkaline in nature and its job is to stabilize the acid in stomach when we gulp a large amount of water at once very less saliva gets mixed with the water so the atmosphere
inside the stomach remains acidic this may cause acidity indigestion bloating gas etc even gain in weight because stomach fails to absorb the nutrients from the food and remove the unwanted material from the body ideally one should slowly sip the water to start with you can avoid bottles with wide mouth or even better to use a glass or sipper number 3 drinking chilled water do you after coming back from office run to the refrigerator grabbing a bottle of chilled water to quench your thirst if yes then you better stop doing that drinking chilled water can not
only cause a sore throat but also has serious demerits firstly cold water shrinks the blood vessels seriously restricting the digestion process chilled water also tend to solidify the fats from the food making it tough for your body to break down the unwanted fats another major side effect of drinking cold water is joint pains not only this there are many studies proving today that chilled water decreases the heart rate ideally one should drink water at room temperature lukewarm water is even better although if at all you want to drink cold water start using earthen pots not

drinking too much water causes an imbalance and the liquid moves from blood to inside your cells making them swell and in case of brain cells that's seriously bad news having yellowish urine and past lips are some of the signals given by the body that you are dehydrated the number one reason that you are drinking water the wrong way is that you are drinking it while standing another side effect of fast-paced lives is that today people drink water not just standing but walking or even while running when we drink water in standing position our kidneys are
not able to filter the water properly moreover in this position your muscles and nervous system are not relaxed and it makes difficult for your nerves to quickly digest the fluid this may disrupt the balance of fluids in the body leading to greater accumulation of fluids in the joints thus triggering arthritis so it is best to sit down and sip water slowly so these were some of the most common mistakes that people do while drinking water let us now see when how much and in which utensil you should drink water when to drink water whenever you
