Tips » Digestion » Water and Food

Ayurveda recommends that you drink different amounts of water depending on what you are eating. As a general guide, liquidy foods such as soups require little water, while dry foods, such as chapatis, can benefit from small sips of water during the meal.
Hot foods such as chili can over-stimulate the digestive fire and so water can help to balance this out.
