According to ayurveda, it is said that we should not drink water just after or during meals. Is this true? If it is true then when is it right to drink water? What should I do if I feel thirsty after meals? Can I drink buttermilk during/after meals?

Drink one glass of water 30 minutes before a meal to help digestion. Remember not to drink too soon before or after a meal as the water will dilute the digestive juices. Drink water an hour after the meal to allow the body to absorb the nutrients.
