In this video, Dr. Berg answers the question if should you be drinking water when you eat food. The thought is when you drink too much water it will dilute the hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is going to weaken the ability to digest food. The purpose of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is to trigger the enzymes to primarily help digest protein, absorb minerals and kill off microbes.
If you are going to drink water on your meal, add apple cider vinegar to help you keep the pH where it needs to be. Avoid adding calcium carbonate or drinking alkaline water to the meal because it will dilute it. But what’s more important is what you are eating or the quality of food that you are consuming and don’t force yourself to drink a lot of water especially when you ate protein because potentially it can also dilute the HCL and weaken the ability to breakdown protein. If you are doing a salad with a meal or combining it with protein, you may find that you are thirstier at the end of the meal because a lot of the fiber attracts water and it gel up in the colon so the body will tell you to drink a little more.
If you have a weak digestive system or your stomach isn’t that strong with a good enough acid, don’t go drink too much water and start to build it up with betaine hydrochloride, apple cider vinegar or apple cider vinegar pills.
