Q. Is the habit of eating food diluted with water okay?

A.

Swallowing without chewing means it cannot mix with digestive fluids, placing a significant burden on your stomach. Always chew thoroughly so it mixes with saliva.

📝 Detailed Answer

물에 밥을 말아 먹으면 씹지 않고 후루룩 넘기게 됩니다. 침(소화 효소)과 섞일 기회가 없어 위장에 큰 부담을 줍니다.

  • 문제 1: 저작 부족 → 침 분비 감소
  • 문제 2: 위산 희석 → 소화력 저하

식욕이 없어 물에 말아 드시더라도, 반찬과 함께 꼭꼭 씹어서 드셔야 합니다.
