Re: Follow up
Thank you chrisb1,
also:
"A. The Hygienists view (and my own) is to not mix any excess water with a fruit/vegetable smoothie as this will only serve to further dilute the stomach juices and RETARD digestion further along the line of digestion in the intestine.
Fruit and vegetables contain all the water necessary in the proper amounts for proper digestion. Pre-mixed by Nature.
This is why we do not drink anything immediately BEFORE, WITH or AFTER a meal."
I understand about the importance of keeping water away from meals. My problem, however, is that i seem to have to mix some water in to get the blender to "blend" and i use as little as possible. :) But also i am wondering whether the stomach separates out the water First and sends it into the intestines, while continuing to digest the non-water portion of that vegetable smoothie? and as well, how many minutes might it be good to wait after drinking the smoothie before introducing the fish or meat?... (hoping the water of the smoothie will be out of the stomach first).
And in the same way, wondering if i was to drink a "water/protein shake", if the stomach works first to separate out the water?
Thanks Again,
