Drinking water during meals
5:57:41 2023-03-19 756

Imam Al-Ridha (peace be upon him) recommends not drinking water during meals to those who want to stay away from stomach pain and should wait until they finish.

The Imam (peace be upon him) continues and states, “Whoever does that (drink water during meals) makes his body moist, his stomach weak, and his veins would not absorb the nutrients because water that is poured into the stomach right away with food causes a gap in the stomach (which damages the stomach).”
 

In fact, the stomach is a sensitive organ, as most sickness start from the stomach and what it intakes. the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) stated, “The stomach is the home of diseases”. In this advice from the Imam (peace be upon him) we can understand that a simple change in our eating habits can affect our stomachs and health to the better or worse, depending on how we act. Instead of drinking water during meals, we should drink before or after, and some gastroenterologist state that it should be 30 minutes before or after eating.
