Probably doesn't matter. Drinking water while eating might fill you up faster, but I doubt it will really make any difference otherwise. If you are trying to lose weight, it might be benificial.It is extremely difficult to drink too much water.

While it can cause mineral/electrolyte imbalances, this usually only happens in those who have been consuming massive amounts of water in a short period of time, like if you are a marathon runner. Unless you have a medical problem or take certain medications, you should not fear drinking too much water..

Water is usually very good for you... Under most circumstances, drinking water is very good for you. You should be targeting about half a gallon of water intake per day.

No and yes. Some sources claim you should not drink water while eating because it dilutes the stomach acids required for digestion. I am a big water drinker and tend to drink water between meals, but will drink up to one cup with my meal.

A healthy adult can process 15 liters of water per day. The official name for this condition is hyponatremia. It happens most often with athletes.

Symptoms include apathy, confusion, nausea, and fatigue. It can lead to coma and even death. Sources: bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_living/compleme...; chemistry.about.com/cs/5/f/blwaterintox.htm; hhp.ufl.edu/faculty/pbird/keepingfit/ART... .

No & No. Popular medical thought is not to drink water right before or during a meal. Why?

It dilutes the stomach acids causing incomplete digestion. Drink water afterwards. You would have to drink a lot of water to drink too much...

There are reasons not to... Question 1: Arguments for Drinking Between Meals instead of During: Water ’dilutes’ the enzymes and chemicals that your body produces to break down food, thus hindering digestion. This is why practitioners of Ayurvedic Medicine suggest taking fluids between meals rather that with your meal. You may read about this in books on Yoga, or books written by Deepak Chopra.

Water takes up space in the stomach. So if you are trying to get as much nutrition as possible (calories, fat, protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals...) from your meal then you might forgo the fluid until an hour or so later. People who are experiencing nausea find this a helpful way to keep something down.

Also helpful for people who have had gastric (stomach) surgery. Whenever you take your water, be sure that you are getting enough. The average person should strive for 64 ounces of water a day.(8 8oz glasses) You need even more when: You’ve been exercising heavily, you have been in the heat, or you have a fever (i.e.

You’ve been sweating). You have been drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beveragee, which are diuretics. For every caffeinated or alcoholic beverage you drink, drink an extra glass of water (on top of the given 8!) You have been experiencing constipation, diarrhea, or vomitting.

You have colonic malfunction issues or have had your colon removed. Any of these symptoms are signs that you need more water: Your urine is dark (clear to pale yellow urine indicates that you are well hydrated) You have dry lips, dry mouth or dry skin. You feel light headed or have a headache.

Your eyes appear dull, not bright & glossy. You are experiencing constipation. You are experiencing muscle cramps/muscle spasms.

You feel thirsty.(usually the LAST symptom you feel, so if you feel thirsty, you may have been dehydrated for quite some time... Drink! ) QUESTION 2: The main risk of drinking too much water is HYPONATREMIA (Low sodium/salt in your blood). Aside from clinical/hospital settings, the main population at risk for this is endurance athletes.

The reason is that they lose both salt and water in thier sweat and if drink all of the water that they are thirsty for through water alone (no food, no sports drinks), then they are only replacing the water, not the salt, leaving them at risk for hyponatremia. If you think you are at risk for this, talk to your doctor before your next event! Be aware that extreme thirst can be an indication of serious health problems, see you doctor immediately.
