✗ The myth everyone repeats
You should not drink water immediately after eating because it dilutes stomach acid and prevents proper digestion.
✓ What is actually true
Water does not significantly interfere with digestion. Stomach acid production is robust and adapts to food volume. Healthy digestion occurs with or without water during meals.
