Does drinking water during meals hinder digestion?

A moderate amount (1-2 glasses) is fine. While excessive water can dilute stomach acid, its actual impact is minimal.

식사 중 물을 마시는 것에 대한 우려는 과장된 면이 있습니다.

  • 적당량 OK: 1-2잔(200-400ml)은 음식물 이동 도움
  • 과도한 양: 500ml 이상은 위산 희석 가능
  • 권장: 식사 30분 전 물 마시기, 식사 중 소량씩
💡 올바른 수분 섭취

식사 중 물보다, 하루 종일 꾸준히 물을 마시는 것이 더 중요합니다(하루 1.5-2L).
