You've heard about that time food can not drink: say, it reduces the acidity due to the fact that the water dilutes the gastric juice, and the food is harder to digest. And the second most popular myth is that if half an hour before a meal drink a couple of glasses of water, then eat almost do not want to.
And you, too, so do? Well, let's get into the correctness of this reasoning and some recall the physiology.
How does the stomach
Functionally, our stomach can be divided into 4 parts:
- proximal - he is responsible for receiving incoming food;
- distal - here the food is mixed and processed;
- doorman - here ingested food to the gut, and the liquid water in the gatekeeper is not delayed;
- duodenum is responsible for digesting already.
Water, regardless of whether they drink it on an empty stomach or with a meal, do not get stuck in the proximal and immediately goes into the distal, then -in the duodenum. If the water to wash down the food, while water is already in the intestine, the food remains in the proximal part.
What's going on inside?
Water up to 300 milliliters leaves the stomach after a maximum of 15 minutes - an understanding of the physiological process of proving the absurdity of the myth about the drink for 30 minutes before eating. Well, if you're just, of course, not a liter at a time drink.
But if you do not wash down the food with water, and, for example, sweet tea or juice packaged, such a fluid and true with food remains in the proximal part, because of the glucose content.
The walls of the stomach - relief, so the water is not a waterfall rushes to the stomach at the same time washing the gastric juices, and gradually flows to these folds, heading into the distal. 200 milliliters of water flowing from the proximal to the distal 2 minutes: these facts prove that the water does not affect the acidity if you eat it instead of, before, after, or instead of.
In general, the stomach is designed much more complex than people imagine: crystal it depends on several factors: for example, the temperature of the food, calories and so on.
Therefore, do not repeat the follies and drink water when you want to. And do not want to - do not drink.
