Depends how much you drink. A little bit shouldn't be a problem. Half a pint certainly isn't going to help!
Stomach acid or whatever, the more liquid added to it the more diluted it becomes. The more diluted it is the less potent it becomes.
Either way, certainly no evidence anecdotal or otherwise to support the poster's original query about drinking warm water after meals to lose tummy fat.
How about this one - Whats the importance of taking warm water first thing in the morning.
Hi Flowers
Why warm water - I don't know - possibly gentler on the system when you have just woken up. Warm water on its own may be just half the story and may not do what I explain here - it needs some stimulating acid in it, such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. This stimulates the gall bladder to empty out the waste contents (bile) which have been accumulating overnight ready to help excrete them and partially to help digest the next meal - breakfast - preferably half an hour later.
If this meal contains oats with oatbran, then any excess hormones in the bile will attach to the oatbran and be excreted. These may be any hormones deemed unneeded by your body and will include oestrogens, testosterones and cholesterol. If however there is no oatbran in that meal the hormones then are reabsorbed lower down the gut back into the system - and this may cause all sorts of problems ;). Wheat bran does not do the same thing - it contains plenty of fibre but this fibre attaches to minerals in the food you eat and takes them out of the body and does nothing for hormone content.
If the gall bladder is not stimulated to empty, then the contents can sit there and start to calcify - into gall stones. Not a good idea to skip breakfast then.
Will warm water do this on its own? I doubt it. A glass of orange juice may have a similar effect, but too many processed orange juices are too high in sugar and low in actual juice, so it will depend on the quality of the juice - as always.
Does that answer your question?
Yes Caroline, that has answered my question perfectly.
I love healthy pages Caroline, I get all the right answers. Thank you
Is it true that taking warm water after every meal helps in reducing fat in the tummy? I have had several people talking about this.......not experts though. I would like to hear your views.
I have heard that taking cold water with a meal can be dangerous, as it can help solidify the fat causing problems, as to the warm water I do not know.
Peace and light
Peter
Hi i don't know whether it is good to drink warm water after meal but surely if you drink water after half n hour of your meal it will really help you , try not to take water at the time of meal.
