I am used to drinking water after a meal, so I feel more comfortable in my stomach, but my friends say that this habit is not good, can I drink water after a meal?

    It is best not to drink water immediately after a meal, because drinking water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food in the stomach enters the small intestine without having time to digest, which weakens the digestive capacity of the gastric juice and easily causes gastrointestinal diseases. If you drink soda after a meal, it is even more inappropriate for the body. The carbon dioxide produced by soda easily increases the intragastric pressure, resulting in acute gastric distension.
