ROLE OF WATER ON THE STOMACH
There is the secretion of stomachic juice in the stomach to digest food. The more genuine the stomachic juice, the better digestion of food.
If someone takes liquid, whether water, wine or beer, the stomachic juice will not remain genuine. It would be degraded by the intake of water, wine or beer and would not be effective in the digestion of food.
Similarly, if some person takes water six or eight times while taking his meal, it liquidates stomachic juice so much that it would not be able to act as digestive juice.
Do not take water at all during meals. If you must take it, take a minimal quantity to absorb natural stomachic juice in all eaten food.
If you feel thirsty after one hour or more of food, please take water in limited quantity. The body, especially the stomach, needs water occasionally to liquidate its juice, increase its amount, and absorb the solid material (food). The body itself informs whenever it needs it. Sometimes, the desire to take water is slow and sometimes very fast. One should be particular about intake, whether from a healthy or sick stomach. One should take it as much as it is sufficient and good for health. It should be taken at equal intervals, especially when one suffers from a fever. One should not take a glass of water at a stretch but each five or ten minutes in less quantity. Intake of water at a time by a patient with a fever will not quench his thirst. Instead, it would increase other symptoms of illness.
Water taken in less quantity is accepted and absorbed by the stomach. Repetition of its intake at each half-an-hour produces juice in more abundance and removes whole dullness and constipation by flowing in the body and intestines. It cools them also. One can use lukewarm water or cold water according to its taste.
