Experts agree that drinking during meals is possible.

The main thing is to choose the right drink that will not ruin all your efforts to lose those extra pounds.

Of course, you shouldn't consume so-called "empty calories" uncontrollably.

These include juice, sweet tea and coffee, carbonated drinks, etc.

But even ordinary water, which does not contain any additives, can have a negative impact on metabolic processes occurring in the body.

True, this will only happen if the liquid is at an inappropriate temperature.

It turns out that you can’t drink cold, clean water while eating.

The reason is that after such a meal you will soon feel hungry again.

This happens because the low temperature water increases the contractions of the stomach. Food that has not yet been completely digested immediately moves forward and enters the upper intestine.

As a result, you simply don’t have time to get full.

In addition to the fact that you will want to eat again, you will probably experience an unpleasant feeling of heaviness and bloating, since your intestines are overloaded with poorly digested food.

However, you shouldn't completely give up drinking during meals. A little warm water or a cup of tea for dessert will have a positive effect on the body.
