After eating, I am used to drinking a glass of water. My classmates say that my habit is bad and I need to change it. Can I drink water after eating?

    It is best not to drink water immediately after a meal, as drinking water will dilute and dilute saliva and gastric juice, weakening the activity of proteases, affecting digestion and absorption. You can drink water after half an hour after a meal. If you are prone to heartburn, you should drink water 2-3 hours after a meal.
