It is recommended by the ''yogis'' that we drink water
1 hour after consuming our meal.
The scientific reason being that the juices or enzymes that digest our food, shd not get diluted .
It does not need any justification. DO It for sometime,and u will know it for yrself.
Kar kay dekho !!!!!!!!!! Try !

One can drink water half an hour before a meal and half an hour after. The digestive acids get diluted when water is taken while eating or within the time limits specified. This is a time-tested and proven system according to the ancient Hindu practice.
Following this helps in optimum digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

You can drink water 8 to 10 glass within a day. And you can drink water after meal & before meal & with meal. But I request u, u can drink water 1 hour before meal & same way 1 hour after meal. This is better for our body.

If u take small quantites of water with food it is ok as the juices secreted by the digestive system will not be diluted to a great extent but if u wish to take in half litre measures avoid it for about 30 min before and after the meals so that the juices digest ur food well.

Why do have to wait until after a meal to drink water? I drink water with every meal that I eat.

To give time to digestive juices (chemicals produced by liver) for digesting your food well u should avoid diluting it with simultaneous water consumption while eating and till about an hour after eating.
Drink water after 1 hour of meal. One hour is the time that is usually needed for the juices to mix properly with the food and break them down into substances fit for absorption by the intestines in the blood stream.

As per naturopathy, one should drink 2 to 3 litres of water per day. Avoid drinking 30 minutes before food and one bour after food. Otherwsie, the water will dilute the digestive secretions andyour digestion will not be complete. Result, acidity, constipation etc.

you can drink water at any time of the day but supposively its better if u dont drink water while having a meal and u should wait until ur done eating so you can drink water but thats just because if u drink water and eat at the same time it makes your metabolism slower or something, you can still eat and drink water and nothing bad will happen to you

well scientifically,its best to drink water after finishing ur meals, coz if u drink water in between meals ur food wont be digested properly, so drink as much water as u can after u finish with ur meal,n try to eat slowly to avoud hiccups,cozif hiccups occur u have to drink water which inturn will not digest food properly.n for rest of ur day drink water anytime u want n drink water as much as u can,as it avoids dehydration of the bodyn keeps the body fit,elasticn healthy skin also.
