I want to know after having food how many minutes should I wait to drink water. I am already drinking water half an hour before food, so I don't want to know about water before food. Please answer?

Hello, You should consume water before the meals, bit should never have it while having food. Post lunch you need to wait for at least 40 mins to ensure food is digested efficiently.

Feel comfortable and feel good in having food and water. There are lots of rules and rules, and everyone will give different rules. Some of them are conflicting rules with different reasonings. My personal recommendation is that, when you drink water is not important. Till the time you are drinking enough water. I have seen a lot of people who are so caught up with'Water Rules' that they don't drink enough water and end with obesity / constipation / Kidney stones because they are following too many rules. So the bottomline is Have more water - don't be over burdened with rules.
